Possible Gallblader Problems Posted: 08-02-07 13:30pm
This is my first post to this forum and I
am so glad that I have found it, here's my
story...
About a month ago I had Severe upper right
quad. pain with pain also in my right arm.
Also included was nausea and diarrhea.
After that weekend, (I refused to sit in
an E.R.), I called my family doc and he
had me go through a whole bunch of tests,
including an Abdominal and Kindey
Ultrasound, Blood tests, Upper GI and a
HIDA scan. I then was referred to another
doc. who read all of my results and said
that my ejection fraction was at 35%. I
have since learned that although below
"normal", that's considered o-kay. He
then scheduled be for an EGD, which I had
yesterday. All went well with the
procedure, but I remember him showing me
the pictures. I had a bunch of pettechia
(almost like a rash), in my stomach, and
the opening to the duodenum was very pale,
almost white. When I asked him what could
cause this he said that he wasn't sure and
that he would see me in two weeks. He also
said that we will talk about the
gallbladder again at that time. I'm
pretty sure that he wants me to have
another HIDA scan. I'm still experiencing
the pain and the nausea is almost
constant. Oh yeah, he has me taking
Prilosec with the hope that it will help
the nausea.
