I've got this really sharp, needle-like pain in my stomach, and it's been going on since yesterday. Could this be something serious or is it likely to be something that might just pass? Should I be doing something specific to help with the pain?

I'm really worried about my wife. It's been about two months since she had our baby, and she's having really bad pain in her upper abdomen and back. We got an ultrasound done, and it showed multiple stones. Last month, she had a severe pain attack, and she's still having mild pain in her upper abdomen and between her ribs. Is removing the gallbladder the only solution, or are there other options we should consider? Would love some guidance on what we can do.

Given your wife's severe pain, multiple gallstones, and recurrent attacks, gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) may be the most effective treatment option

I'm dealing with some health issues and I was hoping you could help me out. I've been experiencing acid reflux, dizziness, and headaches, along with some pain in both the left and right sides of my bladder. I also get heartburn and occasionally my right shoulder hurts. What kind of tests should I consider to figure out what's going on?
