The pain associated with gallstones

I don't know how bad your pain was, but I had gallstones for years, in what was diagnosed as irritable bowel syndrome at the time, and it increased in intensity over the years and in the last 12 months, was crippling when I got an attack. It was truly debilitating and I couldn't have driven a car, let alone have flown anything. The attacks came on very quickly.

When the correct diagnosis was finally made, an operation quickly followed and the change was immediate and permanent. No more "irritable bowel" problems!! No more incapacity as a result of pain. An amazingly easy fix after years of pain.

I told the story because I am concerned at the suggestion that you shouldn't report it. Safety is too important to be trifled with. That's my opinion.
