Hi everyone. I've been looking all over
the internet for an answer and i'm happy
that I found this site. Just a little
over a week ago, i've developed a rather
large, (about 4 in. Long and 2 in. Wide)
soft, and painful lump under the skin
that's right in the area of my
gallbladder, and I have absolutely no idea
what it is, and i'm so worried and scared.
I went to the er last sunday because of
horrible stomach pain that kept me awake
the night before, (turned out it was
because I bound up for almost a week;
which was weird, but I took some medicine,
and i'm ok now) and I told them about the
lump; the nurse felt it but the doc
didn't; or so she said...Anyway, I got a
ultrasound, urine test, and bloodwork
done; all normal, only diagnosis was "a
touch of stomach flu" and i'm "not to eat
anything but bland food for 2 weeks";
(just got through the 1st wk, one more to
go, yay!) but, that still doesn't explain
why this thing grew though, or why it's
showing through my skin since my belly
isn't swelled anymore. I went to my
internal medicine doc for an appt. For
other problems i've been having, and I
aked her to check it to see if she could
feel anything, and she said yes. Good,
now I know i'm not nuts. I've scheduled
an appt. With my primary doc for this fri
to see what he thinks, and I hope he finds
something because this has got me really
worried. I'm a 22 yr old female, and the
only other person in my family who had
gallbladder problems was my grandmother.
Does this sound like a cyst?
Thank you.
Jamie

False Alarm... Posted: 09-22-05 18:45pm
Well, I went to doc today, appt. Was only
1 day earlier cause I was freaking out
about a cyst, or a possible hernia and
surgery; but its not my gallbladder at
all; its my colon; I guess its impacted
and swelled up; so much for the damn
fleet...Now I have to be on a high fiber
diet along with my no spice or grease diet
until I see him again oct. 24...This is
going to kill me you guys :( but, there is
some good news out of all of this: so far
i've lost 8 lbs :d, but doc tells me I
have to lose more...Figures... Will let
you know how i'm doing.
Take care

Hello all. :) just wanted to let you
know im feeling alot better; I no longer
have pain in my stomach :d and I also
have given up the no grease diet; I think
the doc was full of crap when he told me I
had colon probs :roll: ...I think the real
reason was that I skipped a month of
menstruation, and all the pain went away
once I got it the 1st, so I called today
and cancelled for the 24th; I think all he
was feeling at the last one was how
bloated I was anyway... Well thats all I
got for now, i'll talk to you later.
