Gallbladderless Pains.( Bile Duct Pains????) Posted: 08-08-06 23:44pm
I often have what I call gallbladderless
pains. I call it that because my
gallbladder got taken out in 2000.
But I often get gallbladder pains without
a gallbladder. When they took out my
gallbladder they told me my bile duct had
to be cleaned out because it was loaded
down with bile stones and bile sludge.
During the many months I suffered with
gall bladder pains before it was taken
out, most of the pain is in what I now
think to be my bile duct. Mostly in the
back, below the right shoulder blade.
Anyone else have this or know about it?
Thank you :wink:

hello,
I had my gallbladder out in 1994.
During my surgery the doctor accidentally
cut out my bile duct. I had 5 surgeries
since then. Eventhough they took out my
gallbladder, each surgery I had done I had
new gallstones removed.
The doctors told me that it very common
to have new gallstones, however, they form
in your bile duct instead of your
gallbladder. It will be 10 years since my
last surgery.
Hope this helps,
theresa

Post Cholcystectomy Syndrome Posted: 04-12-07 12:03pm
There is a syndrome which affects about 1
in 10,000 people who have their gall
bladder out called spasm of the sphincter
of oddi. it is horribly uncomfortable and
is just like gall bladder pain. There are
three types of this pain: Type I which
includes elevated liver enzymes, pain, and
increased pressure of the bile duct. Type
II involves Elevated liver enzymes and
pain. Type III involves occasional liver
enzyme elevation and pain. If you are
worried about this pain, consult your
gastroenterologist to see whether testing
for this problem is indicated in your
case. I hope you get to the bottom of it.

I have the same problem! Posted: 03-11-08 12:21pm
Hello,
I have the very same problem, had suffered
11 years of the stones pain attacks,
diagnosed by common bile duct's stones
just 16 months ago, my bile duct had been
cleaned by ERCP method, but then my doctor
suggested that my gallbladder be taken out
to eliminate any risk of future stones.
However only 4 months after the ERCP and
GB operation, I was recovered at the
hospital again because of another stone
pain attack, and this time they found 3
stones 7 mm. width each! My bile duct has
been cleaned again by ERCP, now it's been
a year since my second bile duct cleaning,
and I have the pains again! So in my case
at least it's not just a spasm, but the
real reformation of stones!
I wanted to know why these stones are
formed even though there is no
gallbladder, and even though I consume
very small amount of fat in my diet.
