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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
