Gall bladder

[Penny-lope]

So I have been experiencing stomach pains off and on for the last 4 months, and today I finally went to the doctors, to be told it is most likely my Gall Bladder

I have to wait 3 to 4 wks for a scan to confirm, and mean while just take painkillers when needed.

So I am just wondering, has anyone had problems with their gall bladder, and what they did to dull the pain, apart from popping pills. So far all that seems to work for me is rocking back and fore like a numpty, which is'nt very practical for work

Pregnant.

you need to have sex for that...and since I've not had any for over 6 months, I think not

Mates wife had this, they had a bit of a think about it then whipped her gall bladder out.
Done by keyhole surgery, but if they have trouble they reserved the option to cut her open.

While she was waiting, she was told to avoid

1. Fatty food
2. Alcohol
3. Spicy Food.

I've been told to avoid nothing, as food does not seem to be making any difference. It seems to be more stress related, which made me wonder if it was actually an ulcer.

Took it out? I thought the problem was gall stones which can be laser'd?

I was told it could be either...if stones, then yes lasered. But it the gall bladder is inflamed, then it will more than likely be removed

+1 on the three points above, at least until you have a proper diagnosis.
I had acute pancreatits last year caused by a stone blocking my common bile duct, and had my GB whipped out by keyhole. Took me a month or so to be "back to normal".

That long...I was hoping a week

Well that Mary bird, she managed to convince her other half that her hymen was still intact. Me, I'm having none of it. I reckon someone slipped her a cheeky length but her 'simple' carpenter husband somehow fell for it hook line and sinker.

Something sounds dodgy about the whole affair to me.

Yeh I always thought the same...bet it was the Inn Keeper

Ta for the advice, and the smut

have you tried a course of ranitidine or omeprazole (both over-the-counter medicines) helpful in ulcer/gastric/duodenal inflammation/ulceration.

I was given a perscription today, and told it may help, but probably not One way to cover yourself

As for the rest of you Your scaring me now

I'm on the waiting list to get mine chopped out - joy! I haven't found anything that really sorts the pain out. I had one really bad attack and ended up in A&E (pre-diagnosis) and even on morphine it still hurt.

Full o'good news eh

Cheers,
Rob

Yeh, but your a man

The first time it happened, I really though I was dying, or having a kid. I had never experienced pain like it (I was lucky, as never had true labour pains) Thankfully since then, the pain has never been so intense....touch wood

Well just had my ultra scan at the local hospital, and rather painful it was too

Got to make an appointment with my own quack in a weeks time to find out the results....so fingers crossed

Hold on, ultra scan because you think you might have had an immaculate conception, or am I missing something here?

I do have sex every so often, you know

On your own does not count as sex.

It's masturbation.
