Hi, I am 25+ Years post surgery but have developed some unusual symptoms that have returned with bigger difficulties. Recently developed extremely low iron (2). Having a blood transfusion in a day or two. Extereme amount of pain in stomach and left shoulder. Wondering if you can have ‘gallbladder attacks’ even if it has been removed (2000). This pain has occurred intermittently over the past 10 years; however, it has become chronic over the past year. Have tried various pain meds: tramadol, dilaudid, ibuprofen, tordal, with little to no comfort. I have tried massage, physio (still have full range of motion), been checked for heart issues, many different tests and X-rays. Is it possible to have gallstones in remaining ducts? Have any others experienced this type of pain. I do have a high pain threshold but it has been increasing to a 10 level where I have asked someone to stab my shoulder because it might relieve the pain(mostly out of frustration). I will be getting a ct scan on Wednesday of Thisbe week after waiting two months for this appointment. Are there any other tests I should be requesting from my doctor?
