Gallstone...pls help?

I found out today that I have a gall stone (diagnosed via ultrasound this morning). My doctor said the stone is small but I'm still in a lot of pain. She wants me to see a specialist but I can't imagine having to wait for an appointment and being in this much pain everyday. My doctor doesn't seem overly concerned even though I told her that I had to take two oxycodones (sp?) yesterday (the oxy's were from surgery I had last year unrelated to this issue). For those of you who have gall stones...how bad was the pain? When did it go away? I have pain daily, gets excruciating about twice a day, dull at other times. I'm afraid she's missing something. I'm not a wuss when it comes to pain but this gets really, really bad. But when I go see my doc since it's not happening at the moment it seems she's doesn't think it's much of an issue or that I'm exaggerating. I am planning to switch doctors and have an appointment with another internal medicine doc for Aug. 20. Anyone have a similar story? I'm looking for personal experiences with this kind of thing since I don't feel comfortable talking to my doctor, she dismisses me. :(
