I'm having this weird pain on the right side of my ribs, kind of up close to my throat area. I've been taking rabekind medicine, but I'm just really curious about what's causing this. Do you have any idea what the problem might be?

I've had gall bladder stones for about a year now, sizes ranging from 9mm to 1.2mm, and they cause really bad pain and vomiting. Is surgery the only option or are there other treatments I could try

Cholecystectomy is advised to the patient.

I'm a bit concerned about my liver. I recently received an ultrasound report that says my liver is normal in size, about 14.0 cm, but there's a mild diffuse increase in echogenicity, indicating grade I fatty changes. Theres no focal mass lesion or IHBR dilatation seen. Should I be worried about these findings? What exactly does "mild diffuse increase in echogenicity" mean, and what are grade I fatty changes? Is there something specific I should be doing or monitoring because of this, or are these changes considered normal?

The liver is of normal size (14.0 cm) and demonstrates mild diffuse fatty changes, which are likely grade I in severity. There are no signs of any focal masses or bile duct dilatation. This suggests early-stage fatty liver changes without any significant abnormalities.
