From the above you are suffering from multiple gallbladder stones these stones occlude the the opening of the gallbladder resulting in pain.
If you observe closely the pain will be more if you have oily or fatty non vegetarian foods this is because this kind of foods stimulate the gallbladder to contract and thereby increasing the pain kindly send me your ultrasound scan report I would like to also have a look at the common bile duct to decide regarding before the management it is advisable not to defer the surgery

Medicines can make gall stones manageable for a few weeks or months. But they can't remove them. Surgery is the only permanent cure.
Next Steps
Consult online for detailed discussion and prescription medicine.
