Hi Sherry, I had gallstones in 1996 a year after I gave birth to my daughter. The pain that I experienced was on the right side and it was like a cramping sensation that radiated around from my side to the back. I went to the ER room and they did an U/S and it showed gallstones. I was released to go home but I became very ill and I was admitted to the hospital the next day. I was nauseated, ran a temp and I was vomiting. I think I was in the hospital for a week before they removed the gallbladder. Gallbladder attacks aren't fun and they do hurt. I had several stones, the surgeon said when he pulled the gall bladder out it just saged down from all the stones that were in there.
