View allMy wife has multiple gallstones with the largest being 11.1 mm. The doctor recommended surgery but I'm wondering if there are other options to remove the stones without surgery
Gallstones over 10‚ÄØmm are unlikely to dissolve with meds;non-surgical options like ursodeoxycholic acid work best for smaller stones under monitoring.

I've been really worried because I had my appendix removed almost two weeks ago and now my left side is constantly in pain and feels swollen. Is it possible I could be dealing with a hernia after the appendectomy? What steps should I take next?
It is possible to develop an incisional hernia after an appendectomy, especially if there was a weakness in the abdominal wall or if there was increased pressure in the abdomen post-surgery. The symptoms of a hernia include pain, swelling, and a bulge at the site of the surgical incision. It is important to have this evaluated by your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain medication such as acetaminophen for pain relief.
