The stone IS causing problems. I suffer from "gallbladder attacks" and have some sort of stomach problem on a daily basis. The problem is I can't afford to have surgery. Also, I don't have insurance, or good credit to get financial assistance. Should I worry about this stone? I've had it at least 10 years. Thanks for any help.

Gallbladder disease and gallstones can become life threatening over time. Besides hurting like hell, a diseased gall bladder may contract an infection that may spread to other parts of the body. Depending on your financial situation, most university hospitals have programs for people without insurance or the means to have needed surgeries and other treatments. Find a university hospital close to you and call their billing department to find out if they offer such programs. Once you find one, have your doctor refer you to one of the surgeons at that hospital. Your doctor may have other ideas on how to obtain low-cost or no-cost treatments or surgery.
My gall bladder left me in 1997. :)
Good luck!

Gallstones are never life threatening. At least not as such. It is the damage they do that is. So size is not the problem.
Ouch, what am I saying. Size is a problem. You have to pass them. And they do hinder your gall getting to your digestive system and that causes problems also.
There are ways of crushing this stone without having to go through surgery. They use sound to crush the stone and the smaller particles you then can pass. The sound part does not hurt a bit.

Just have the surgery. I had gallstones and no insurance as well. You need to get them removed. They can causes serious problems if they block the bile duct. Sometimes they can travel into the liver. That is not good. If it bursts you can end up with sepsis which is life threatening. Get it removed ASAP. You will feel so much better. You can make payment arrangements with the hospital or apply for medicaid.

Mix equal parts of olive oil and lemon juice totaling 1 quart, and have the patient drink 1/4 of this mixture at a time, then lie down after 20 minutes on their right side, and massaging the right upper abdomen.
Also, the Lemon Juice helps soften the gallstone, so that it can enter the duct opening, hopefully passing through it.
Good luck!
