I take them because I cannot stand the pain and when I didn't take them I lied on the couch for months and lost about 30 pounds because eating made me hurt.
I've always had a problem with constipation and this makes it worse, (and a lot of the meds for it make me sick too). I deal with it various ways.
I don't know why they have not given you some heavy duty pain medications. It sure looks like you are experiencing pain.
Oh I also put a lot of peppermint on my stomach. Caraway seeds are great if you make them into a tea with a lot of salt and a little butter.
Also I have done this and liver cleanses

Clean out your gallbladder for optimal function
To ensure a free flow of bile, both into and out of the gallbladder, you should clean this organ out with a gallbladder flush. It's simple to perform, but if you have a history of gallstones or other gallbladder issues, I suggest you check with your doctor first to rule out the possibility that you have any large calcified gallstones that might not be able to pass through the bile duct during the flush. And, obviously, you don't need to perform the flush if you’ve had your gallbladder removed.
The gallbladder flush requires one week, beginning on a Monday and ending on a Sunday. Before you begin you'll need to purchase:
Plenty of apple juice or cider (not concentrate, but the real thing, without added sugars)
Standard Process Disodium Phosphate Capsules (you can purchase these online)
Citrus fruits for fresh-squeezed juice (you can substitute canned or bottled citrus fruit if you prefer) and to eat whole
Unrefined olive oil, which is available at most health food stores
Lemon juice
I also have done coffee enemas to help get rid of old toxins. And maybe you have too much candida and not enough good bacteria. You can take probiotics for that.
Good Luck to you!
