I seem to be having gall bladder issues.
I have an ultrasound and upper GI scheduled for the 8th of December. I get an intense pain on my right side below my ribcage after I eat heavy... Thanksgiving triggered the reaction nicely. The pain is usually a brief throb or surge and then it subsides for 5-10 minutes and repeats this pattern for several hours. This is a classic inflamed gall bladder/gall stone symptom. Lately, I have a dull pain (constant) in the same location which intensifies when I sit down. I believe this is because my abdomen is compressed when I sit and I am applying pressure to my gall bladder. The only comfy way to sit is to stretch out by sitting on the edge of my chair and leaning back (like I was in a lazy boy). Anybody have their gall bladder removed. Any bad side-effects or complications to report afterwards. |

How old are you Karl? I had mine out around 40. It was an emergency surgery. Mine filled up with stones and started flooding them out to my Pancreas. That in turn tried to kill me. 12 days in the hospital and a huge scar and $96k later I am on Nexium for the rest of my life. Dont wait too long. Get it checked out and hope they can just do the microscopic extraction on you. It heals up much faster and cleaner. I still get pains in my stomach where my scar is.
