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(Alison Baker @ Nov 29 2004, 10:14 PM) Your appendix is on the right hand side of your abdomen and your gall bladder and pancreas on the left hand side.....Qarl.you need to describe your pain more...........It is not appendicitis ....Yes it could be cholecystitis yet it could be coming from your panreas......I worked in ER for 11 yrs and know all the signs .... Age does not matter in Cholecystitis as it is what you eat...fatty foods.milk,diary products, ham,bacon, red meat alcohol can all cause gall stones. For kidney stones.you would NOT be able to sit and surf the net if u had kidney stones...and also you would be sitting in ER as fast as your ass would take you . DO you drink alcohol ? often? how often ? Asking as it could be pancreatitis DId you see your Dr? Did they check your LFT's ? Your FBC ? Cholestrol ?Haemoglobin ? If the gall bladder and pancreas on the left hand side, then why do I have a 12" scar across the right side of my stomach where they went in to remove it??? |
