Similar Symptoms, But Gb Has Been Gone For Several Years... Posted: 05-16-06 09:58am
Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has
been checked for other problems? I went
in for routine blood work prior to my
annual physical. A week later, I received
a call from the doctor wanting me to come
back in for more blood tests because my
liver test came back "extremely high".
Since then, I have had a hepatitis
screening and ultrasound, which all came
back negative. I have more blood work
this thursday and then possibly an
appointment with a specialist. I am at
wits end because I have had low grade
fevers and this sharp pain in my right rib
cage for over a year. The last ge thought
it was scar tissue or blocked bile ducts,
which tests proved negative. This is the
first time I have had liver tests come
back abnormal. The pain and nausea
doesn't come and go...It's always there.
The painful area is about the size of my
open hand. I cry quite often from the
sheer helplessness I feel. I know I am
hurting, and something has to be causing
it. Even if it is bad news, I want to
know something. I am tired of being poked
and prodded, as this makes the pain even
worse. Can anyone relate to this, and, if
so, what was the diagnosis and outcome?
Thanks for all of the previous postings on
here because at least i'm not the only who
feels nuts or helpless...
