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(Qarl @ Nov 29 2004, 10:31 PM) Alison, Yes, blood work was done last week. Doctor called this evening with the results, but I was not home to receive the call. I believe all of those tests were ordered. I suspect my lipids are high (they usually are). I believe my gall bladder IS on my right side... http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/ar...icle/001138.htm My pain is as follows... 1. After a meal, I get a periodic sharp pain on my right side below my rib cage.. as if someone is really grabbing abdominal muscles and twitsing my abominal wall very hard. The pain last for 10-15 seconds and then subsides for 5-10 minutes. Repeats for 2-3 hours. It is more severe after a large meal, and especially a meal that has fats in it, although I tend to eat well. This pain is more aggravated when I sit down (i.e., sit at my desk, drive) vs. standing upright or walking. 2. Lately, I have a constant dul pain, as if someone is poking me really hard with their finger. This pain is focalized in the same area where I get the pain listed in #1 above. This pain has been increasing in intensity over the past several days. My abdomen is not tender to the touch and looks outwardly normal. I am not vomiting, I have no fever, no gas, and I have not had any diahhrea. I'm glad I like you guys. You know too much information about my body!!!! Qarl, do you have your blood work results...if so PM them to me .. |
