Pain, Sickness And Weight Loss - Please Help Posted: 02-20-06 11:07am
I'm 17 and since about september 2005 I
have been suffering with stomach problems.
I have a sharp stabbing pain in the top
right of my abdomen which gets worse when
I eat. Also when I eat I get swelling and
purple lines on my stomach which go away
when I am sick. I went to the doctors and
she told me to cut out all fat and
referred me to a surgeon because she
thought it was to do with my gallbladder.
I have since then had a ultrasound which
came back normal, blood tests, hida scan -
which the doctor has told me has come back
normal. I am now going to be referred to
a gastroenterologist , but it is getting
much worse. I'm now hardly eating
anything - bcos as soon as do I am sick,
have blood in my stools. I have lost
nearly 3 stone in 5 months - and I have
had to leave school because I cant travel
in a car because it hurts so much. What
should I do - i'm really scared and I need
to know whats wrong with me.
Could this still be to do with my
gallbladder even though the hida scan is
normal??
