Im not even sure if this is possible but
you would know.
You wouldnt even be able to stand. The
pain would be excruciating.

Yes, it is definitely possible for your
gall bladder to rupture. Mine ruptured
two days after I gave birth to my son, and
I ended up having to stay in the hospital
for 17 days due to severe complications.
It was the most intense pain that I have
ever felt in my life. I had 2-3 gall
bladder attacks beginning two weeks before
my son was born, and then in the middle of
the night, I woke up screaming. Within a
few hours, I couldn't walk, move, etc.,
and was throwing up green poison. I've
been told that the majority of individuals
who experience a ruptured gall bladder
will suffer from a high fever and a rapid
rise in blood pressure. Unfortunately, I
didn't show any of these side effects, and
due to the fact that I had just given
birth, it was hard to determine what was
going on and I was misdiagnosed with gall
stones. The surgeon did not realize that
my gall bladder had ruptured until they
went in to do surgery. If your gall
bladder has ruptured, you will be in such
intense pain and experiencing such severe
effects that you wouldn't be able to be on
the computer. But, I hope that you did
see a doctor about this.

I was doing some research to better
understand what my best friend is going
through and found this forum. She is 24
and right now is in the hospital being
treated for septicemia as a result of a
ruptured gallbladder. I'm trying to
understand what the doctors are explaining
to her mother and I but all I hear is
"we're doing all we can, just have to wait
and see." i'd like to know if anyone has
known of someone recovering from a severe
case like this. I've read a few medical
articles on this covering sympoms,
statistics, treatments, and mortality
rate. So far we've seen her have the
fever, blue tint of the skin, high blood
pressure with sudden low drops, delerium,
rapid heart rate, and everything else
possible. She's been in isolation for a
day now and treated with iv fluids and
meds. But I need to know what her chances
are of all that working. If anyone can
help, please do.

That is terrible about your friend. I can
completely understand. As I said in my
earlier post, my gall bladder ruptured
after my son was born. I basically sat in
the hospital room for another day and a
half waiting to have surgery because I was
misdiagnosed due to the fact that I didn't
have a high fever or my blood pressure
rise and they thought my severe pain was
just gall stones. Because I laid there
for that time with the poison running
through my body, I developed septicemia as
well. When they went in to do the
surgery, my surgeon discovered that it was
ruptured and said that she really needed
to open me up, but that I was so sick at
that point that I would not have survived
surgery. I spent several nights in icu
because at that point the septicemia was
causing my liver and kidneys to shut down.
My left lung was completely filled with
fluid. I also was developing pancreatitis
due to the complications, and later a
small touch of pnuemonia. My blood
pressure was running around 90/39 for
several days. I was fortunate in the case
that my fever only reached 102.7 for a
short time and then the remainder was
around 99 -100. It took tons of fluids
being pumped into my body for my kidneys
to start working several days later. I
was then moved into a regular room on the
floor where I stayed for basically another
two weeks. I also had to use an incentive
machine for my lungs, and do breathing
treatments three times a day. After 17
days, I was finally realized from the
hospital. It was a very rough recovery,
but the help of my pulmonologist, surgeon,
and my ob/gyn, I was able to make a
complete recovery and I feel great now. I
do have to say that they said I bounced
back quicker than they thought, but it is
definitely doable.

Thank you so much for the information on
this, I was looking up this subject on
google, and I couldn't find anything. I've
been scared that my gallbladder will
rupture, because I've had more than 20
gallstones in me for almost 6 months now,
and probably longer, just didn't realize
it. I'm 17, so the doctors took three
months to diagnose me with it, they were
convinced it was all in my head untill
they took me to an ultra sound. So far
I've had attacks every second day for 6
months and just yesterday I had three in a
row so I was so scared it ruptured. I did
vomit, but it wasn't green and I can still
walk. Thank you so much for that
information, you've eased my mind. =) Is
there any signs before it ruptures? Or is
there anything specific that causes it to
rupture?
