Unfortunatly I don't see a difference with the b12 injections, never have and I just get them because my levels are soo low and I know it can cause issues...my body doesn't absorb b12 at all....as for gallbladder, no one in family had any issues......guess I wait to see what test reveals. Dr also put me on some uulcer meds to just in case, tho I alrady take one daily....

Sorry for yet another problem.  Does it run in your family?
My father always had gall bladder pain, finally had it removed late in life.  Mine aches when I drink too much coffee, take too many drugs, and/or eat too much chocolate.

Does B12 help?  I used to inject myself (ugh).  It did nothing for me.

  I was wondering could it be stones from ne of the meds u may have been on? I know with TOPAMAX Kidney stones r a possibility especially if u do not   drink enuff water....

I have had pain on my left side , thought it was stones from meds, and a sacn showed no stones....so I still have no idea,,...except I feel it is pain from my TC....

Good luck and keep us posted.
