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(skline @ Nov 30 2004, 07:14 AM) I had a colostomy bag attached to my leg for about 4 months after the operation. Actually, based on what you told me about your condition, you had a drainage bag, not a colostomy. A colostomy is when they have to redirect part of your large intestine (colon) to your abdominal wall, and the bag retrieves the...well you know! And then, all things going well, you need another surgery to reconnect things so they "come out" the previous way! Sorry to be so graphic, but I have been and x-ray technologist for over 20 years and I have seen it all!
