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. |

QUOTE(tod914 @ Nov 30 2004, 12:05 AM) Thom, just out of curiosity, does that method have a pretty good success rate? The method requires that you S#!t into a piece of screen cloth... This allows you to see exactly how effective the process is... The stones are a grayish green, and usually the size of small peas...(The Olive oil gives you the runs, and the lemons soften the stones so they can pass through the ducts...) It is not a pleasant way to spend 12 hours, and I would not recomend it to anyone who has to go to work the next day, but the 2nd day you feel better, and the 3rd you should be better than when you started... If you fear that you have an infection, I would not recommend this treatment until that was addressed - Again, this is not a pleasant way to deal with gall stones, but better than surgery - I have done this once, and my wife has done it twice - -Thom |
