Hi guys. 4 days ago my mum was rushed to
the hospital. She thought she was having
a heart attack. At the hospital the
doctors examined her and said she may have
stones but they were not shore. Today she
had her gall bladder removed and no stones
were found.
Im really worried now because the stones
weren't found and could be something more
serious to cause her episode 4 days ago
:(
does anyone have an idea what may have
caused the episode? The doctors will tell
us tommorow but I cant wait till then :(

Well, the title of your post is "inflamed
gallbladder". So i'm assuming that they
took an ultrasound or ct scan in the
hospital and it showed that her
gallbladder was inflamed and that's why
they took it out.

the nurse said no stones were found but it
was inflamed. Does anyone have an idea
what caused it to be inlamed?

My gallbladder was inflamed as well &
I did not have stones. The scientific
name for what I had was chronic
cholecystitis. Had it out this past
april. They really had no idea how it
had become inflamed, possibly because I
had cholesterol polyps on the inside, but
they really don't know. Only that
apparently it had been that way for a few
years or more, as it had adhesion's all
over it. They had a hard time getting it
off my liver, which means it had been that
way for awhile.
Your mums pathology report, when it comes
back, may give better insight into a
possible cause.
Take care,

Gall Bladder I Think Posted: 11-13-06 13:00pm
My right side below my ribs has been
hurting badly for 2 days on and off. It
worsens when I eat and radiates towards my
navel and back . I am 40 yrs old could
this be gallbladder?
