Weird burning pain 9 months out...



Recommended Posts

Thank you!!! That's where I was confused. I will definitely ask for this to be done. I'm so confused so maybe this will confirm my concerns! If rather it be this instead of doing more trouble shooting...ugh

Until your next appt I would do a complete cleanse so that can be ruled out. If you're constipated you need to .. Well unplug yourself. To do so never hurt anything, plus it may answer questions. Being backed up into your intestines can mimic gallbladder issues so why not start with something easy :D

If it's not that then they'll have to run more tests but I'm sure your doc will go over that with you. The HIDA scan is temporarily (minute or two) painful and makes you feel like you're going to vomit IF there is an ejection problem. So you'll know that if it becomes painful with severe nausea after they inject some medicine in your IV then you have a gallbladder issue. Just wait for the test to finish and your doc to get the results and go over them with you.

Oh and I'm curious.... is the back pain up between your shoulder blades or a few inches below that, right in the middle?

A couple inches below....but right in the middle.

I've had no such luck going to the bathroom. I didn't go for a week and then it cane all at once. Now it's been another week and I haven't gone yet again despite plenty of fluids and Chia seeds and suppositories and laxatives. I'm gassy but no poop :(

Still having right sided pain. I just started my job at Exxon so I can't take off for a doctors appointment...frustrating!!! The trainers are like boot camp sergeants! A soon as I can I will get to my doc :(

Any gallbladder issues will cause constipation....try different laxatives. Go to CVS/Walgreens and go to the pharmacist and let him/her know what you've taken and ask for a suggestion for a different laxative.

The pain in your back is consistent with a malfunctioning gallbladder. So is the pain on your right as long as it's in your upper abdomen. The lower right abdomen has the appendix.

Try this until you can get to the doctor:

-eat low fat

-don't over eat

-limit or omit caffeine

-watch for foods that trigger the pain, like eggs, red meat, buttery foods...

Good luck hon, and if you do ever get it checked out let me know how it turns out!

I would definitely push for a HIDA scan if the pain doesn't go away. I had to go through all those tests before my doctor would do the scan -- all tests came back okay -- but the HIDA showed 0% functioning and only then was my gallbladder removed. I had no stones.

So glad someone else knew what I was taking about! People usually don't realize that the gallbladder can malfunction without stones. :)

      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.
