pain in my upper right side Posted: 06-05-07 17:37pm
I cant do it anymore...after everything
they take out my gall bladder only to find
out that "no...i still have the pain..in
fact its getting worse"...I have extreme
pain in my upper right side that radiates
to my right shoulder and now I get these
4-5min entire diaphram contraction thats
even radiate to my left side. I dont want
pain meds...and they have no more answers.
Do I go somewhere else? Ended up in ER
last night doubled over in pain, did CT
and XRay...nothing. I KNOW in my heart of
hearts there is something wrong.
how long ago did you have your gallbladder
removed? If it was fairly recent it could
be air, that can cause pain up into the
shoulders and it can be quite painful. Ive
experienced it. Also your body has to
readjust now that that organ is no longer
there. if your concerned id go follow up
with the dr that did your surgery and make
sure a stone didnt get lodged in your bile
duct etc.

Same Pain Even After Gb Is Removed Posted: 06-14-07 20:02pm
I had my gallbladder removed in 2003. Two
weeks after surgery, I had the same pain!
GI dr did tests and said I had sphincter
of odii dysfuntion. I under went surgery
in 2005 and still have the same pain.
I was then diagnosed with pancreatitis and
now take enzymes before I eat. I have had
every test imaginable- ct scan, bloodwork,
ercp,mrcp,x-rays,
colonoscopy,endoultrsounds etc- everything
comes back normal. The pain is severe, it
is in my upper abdomen and radiates to my
back. It used to only be on my right
side, but can be on either side now. I
can't breath when it happens. I have been
to the hospital several times this year.
I have seen 10 doctors over the past 4
years- No one has answers for me. I can't
take it any more- I am on the edge. It is
ruining my life.
I would also recommend and endoscopy and
maybe a colonscopy to check your digestive
tract, my dr said that ulcers can mimic
gallstone or gallbladder pain so you may
have an ulcer that is causing those pains,
def follow up with your dr though.
