Gall bladder shoulder pain relief, Gallstone surgery recovery, Gallstone causes and attacks
The doctor told me to go to the hospital if my back got a warming feeling, but my gallbladder feels really warm. Should I go to the hospital? I have a gallbladder full of stones but have not turned yellow or got sick, just severe pain?

I am not aware of any warm feeling in the back being indicative of a gall stone problem serious enough to require hospitalization, but there must be a reason why your doctor has said this, so you should check with him. In most cases, the patient experiences severe, often debilitating pain in the upper part of the abdomen, and also sometimes in the upper back, between the shoulders.
However, if you have already been consulting a doctor for your gall stone problem, you should return to him and ask him about this.
We are not aware of the details of your case, so it is not possible to say whether hospitalization is necessary. Your doctor will be familiar with your medical history and symptoms, and is the only one who can clarify the advice that he himself has given you.
Hospitalization would probably involve surgery, which your doctor seems to feel may be necessary in your case.
If you are on medication for your gall stone problem and this is not working, surgery may be the only option. Today surgery for gall stones is usually not very invasive - it is performed by laparoscopy, and you will probably be discharged within 24 hours.
