Back and Abdominal pain



Recommended Posts

Ok group, I need some advice.

So for the third time in about 1 month I have been experiencing horrible stomach and back pain. It starts right under my rib cage, and then works it way into by mid back. This is excruiating, almost as bad as labor pains, so bad that it makes me vomit. It doesn't go away no matter what position I try to get in. My fiance has been so concerned that he is threatening to take me to the ER the next time it happens. I thought maybe my hydration was low, but I have been great on my Water intake at least 80 oz a day. And it hasnt involved any specific food type, I am perplexed and getting worried that it may be a leak or something. I am 8 months out of surgery and have no problems until now, any ideas would be helpful. I am a self pay/mexico, do I dont have a local Dr to ask.

Thanks Jaime

Go get your gallbladder checked. Your pain sounds JUST like my current gallbladder pain.. and it won't get better without intervention. :)

Agreed, you need to address this because if it is your gallbladder this pain will not go away. It is definitely the more horrible pain I have ever had! I'm sorry you have to go through this :(.

Okay call your doctor ASAP this happened to me on the 2nd of January and ended up in ER and the next thing you know I'm the surgery table. I never had kids so I can't compare to labor pain but it was painful to the point that cloud not walk and breath normal

Thank you for all of your help, I just read the sypmtoms of gall bladder pain and I think that this may be the culprit. I will make an appointment with my general physician first thing in the AM. Is there anything besides surgery that helps?

Sounds like my symptoms on Christmas eve, Ended up "out of town," in the hospital, having my gallbladder removed. Insist on seeing your Doctor tomorrow! He will inform you of your options. Prayers and hugs being sent you way.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
