Gallbladder - Need to Vent! Posted: 01-29-07 17:19pm
Symptoms of my “episodes”
the following happens between 1-2 hours
after a meal and can last anywhere from 6
hours to 4 days.
Severe abdominal pain in urq (upper right
quadrant) under ribcage that will radiate
to my back. This pain doesn’t come and
go, it is constant and steady
this area feels and looks swollen
this area is extremly tender to touch
it hurts to bend over to far
i feel like something is getting
“squished” under my ribs; can’t
slouch , I have to sit up straight.
It hurts to breathe deeply
full feeling (like when you eat to much)
nausea
bloating
belching
“burning” type pain in my
sternum/stomach
my only remedy is tylenol pm and soaking
in a hot tub 1-4 times
i may have diarrea one the day after an
attack, other than that, my urine and
stool are fine (no wierd colors). I
don't run a fever. My hands and feet are
always cold, so I don't know if I have
chills or not.
I have had the above
“episodes/attacks’ for the past 6
years and they have gotten worse over the
years. I have had a previous trip to the
hospital er approx 4 years ago (2003), and
I was told that it was not my gall
bladder, and it looks like I may be told
that again by a second doctor. I had an
ultrasound done 1/29/2007 and the tech
told me that she didn’t see any stones
and that I didn’t fit the type of person
that usually has gallstones - usually
overweight and older.
I also have the following: excessive
sweating (underarms), feel like something
is stuck in my throat (like when you take
a pill that is to big) this has been
within the last week and drinking water to
try and “wash” it down doesn’t
help.
Could I have gallbladder disease? Or
acalculous gall bladder disease? I’m
not sick with other diseases, however, I
know my body and I know that there is
something wrong.
How many times to the doctor / er before
problem is found?

have you had a hida scan done? I don't
have stones either but I have a
gallbladder that isn't functioning well.
15%...Should be between 35-70. I have had
a lot of the symptoms you are describing.
I am having my gallbladder out next month.
I would ask to have the hida scan done.
