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. |

Had mine taken out in 95. Laposcopic removal. Had problems for quite a few years afterwards. Trouble digestion fatty food, meat etc. I had other health issues at the time. So, I was one of the few that had an adverse reaction to it. Most of the people whom I have spoken that have had it done, don't even know it's missing. If I recall, "normal" recover time is a few days before your back on feet. Maybe 2 weeks before your back at work.
I might suggest ultrasonic blasting of the stones. Talk that option over with your internist. Have to be carefull though, you can get complications from that as well. Accupunture might be an option. Try the least evasive first. To make your life alittle more comfortable, do not eat anything that is fatty, fried, redmeat, etc. Light food like fish and chicken should be ok. No mayo, etc. Hope it resolves soon for you. |
