After I was told it was my gall bladder causing my sharp pains because it is only working at 16% compared to the normal rate of its 30% the option of surgery to remove it was a deffinite future happening if I got the really bad sharp pains again. I seem to all ways be in pain but not the really bad sharp ones so i take extra strength tylenol a lot.Am i handeling the pain right or should i go ahead and have the surgery done?

If you stick to a very careful diet you may be able to avoid surgery. Do not eat any foods with high fat, fried or spicy. A low fat diet is the easiest on your gallbladder. Also take two capsules of digestive enzymes every time you eat. This is going to help assist your body in digesting. Lecithin granules are very good at helping the gall bladder process food. Take 1tsp. 30 minutes before eating.
It's always better if you can avoid surgery.

i am not a doctor, but i would say this... you can do damage to your liver taking too much tylenol...so i would say get the surgery to have it taken out... they can do it laproscopically now so recovery time is very good...
