10 Gallstones Symptoms
2. Back Pain
Back pain is the number one medical complaint in the US. It is described as pain felt anywhere in the back but it is most commonly felt in the lower portion of the back. This is a non-specific symptom that can be associated with many conditions such as muscle spasms and disc herniation to name a few.
Biliary colic can also cause a patient to experience pain in the middle portion of their back. It is caused by the complex nervous distribution of the abdomen that may cause pain to appear in other regions in a condition known as referred pain. Usually appears shortly after the abdominal pain stars and it can be quite debilitating as well.
