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.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
