Can gallstone pain last days?
I've been having really bad gallstone pain for almost two days now, and it's not going away easily. Is it normal for gallstone pain to last for so many days, or should I be more concerned about it?

Absolutely not. Typical gallstone attacks last for a few hours at most after meals. If you are experiencing constant pain for days, it is highly likely an infection or inflammation like cholecystitis. Stop waiting around and go to an emergency room or see a doctor immediately.
While mild discomfort or soreness can linger, intense gallstone pain that persists for days is not standard. It usually indicates a complication like a blocked duct or inflammation. Seeking professional medical advice promptly is the safest and most effective way to address this.
I am not an expert, but dealing with PCOS pain has taught me that we shouldn't tolerate severe discomfort for too long. If the pain is stretching over days, it might mean the body is struggling with a block. It is best to be cautious and get a doctor's opinion rather than waiting it out.
As someone managing high blood pressure, I know that prolonged pain can also shoot up your BP levels due to stress. Continuous gallstone pain for days is a sign that something needs urgent attention. Please visit your doctor for a proper checkup and check your vitals too.
I tried all kinds of home remedies like warm compresses and special teas, but when gallstone pain lasts for days, nothing at home will work. It usually means the stone is stuck. Save your time and energy, and go straight to a doctor before the pain gets worse.
