Ulcerative colitis or gallbladder stones? Posted: 12-10-06 18:15pm
I really would appreciate any feed back.
I know doctors are very busy and don't
seem to have the time for one patient,
especially when you live in an area that
have a shortage of doctors.
I have ulcerative colitis, on prednisone.
Does colitis cause right upper quadrant,
midline and side pain constantly, at times
it radiates to my back and lower back. At
times I get a heavy feeling in my vagina
and rectum. I may go to the bathroom in
3-4 days. At times my vagina and rectum
feel really irritated. No yeast infection.
This may sound gross, but I wanted to to
see if I could feel anything up inside my
vagina, what I could feel was the shape of
my feces.(only occurs when I haven't gone
in a few days). My eyes even feel funny.
I'm definetley not myself. I'm usually
hyper, now I'm just pokey. Some days the
pain is worse than other days. I find if I
try to carry something on my right arm it
bothers my right side of my abdomen.
Morning time not to bad, it's when the day
progresses. Just before my period the side
pain is horrible. Blood work seems to be
fine. I'm trying to convince myself that
it's in my head. Please help me.
Thank-you. Linda

The dominant symptom during ulcerative
colitis is mucous-bloody diarrhea.
Abdominal pain is also present. Pain in
the upper right abdomen that radiates to
your back can be also due to gallbladder
stones so you must perform an abdominal
ultrasound to confirm or deny this
possibility. If the pain is provoked by
physical effort when carrying something,
then it could be a muscle pain, too. If
you feel that you have something in your
vagina, you can visit your gynecologist to
check up.
