Ultrasound Showed No Stones, But All Symptoms Are There... Posted: 08-07-06 22:16pm
I had an ultrasound last week b/c I have
all the symptoms the indicate gallstones.
My gallbladder was clear, as was my bile
duct. My doctor said it is possible that
I passed the stone. They found an
excessive amount of granulomas on my
spleen during the ultrasound and so I am
to see a surgeon on friday.
Should I push the gallbladder thing with
him while I am there? Surely there is
some other test they can do. I have cut
out red meat, dairy and fried foods. I
occassionally get a little pit of pain
under my right breast but I haven't had an
attack since the diet change. And, my
whole right side is so tender. It hurts
to even wear jeans or lay on my stomach in
bed.
Any suggestions?

Surgeon Visit Posted: 08-12-06 16:58pm
He said the spleen thing is nothing and
was more interested in the gallbladder
problems. He said the fact that I had cut
out red meat, dairy and fried foods and
had not attacks but still experienced
shooting pains after eating and discomfort
all day indicated gallbladder disease. He
ordered a hida scan with cck without my
even asking.....Woohoo!
I am not a fan of surgery but not a fan of
feeling like this all the time either.
The diet changes have caused me to lose 10
pounds already so I am looking at this
whole thing as a blessing in disguise.....
