Gallbladder attacks ####ing hurt.

They didn't do an ultrasound for a pain in the right stomach area? What if it was appendix inflammation? Sounds awful. I had gallstones discovered when I was 29 during a random ultrasound done for a different reasons. For about ten years I did nothing about it even though I read that attacks are very painful. Then I had a gallbladder attack, which frankly wasn't as painful, as I imagined. I called emergency and told them I had a gallbladder attack, so they gave me a shot in the rear, which killed the pain. Then they took me to hospital and removed the gallbladder a couple of days later.
