Debri In Duct After Gallbladder Removal. Posted: 04-25-07 12:23pm
I have posted on another thrrad about this
problem but I think it deserves to be in
this this forum now.
For over 12 months I have all kinds of
tummy pains that have mainly been gripe
types yet so severe I have collapsed in
pain, worse than natural child birth. I
was also sick of nauseas & would go as
pale as a ghost & get a kind of chill.
These always came on half hour exactly
after eating & became more regularly
to the point I was having attacks every
other day. Kept being rushed to A & E
(ER) or taken home from work.
Anyway after an ultra sound it showed I
had gallstones & was put on a 6 month
waiting list . I continued to have all the
pains & was given many differing
strong pain killers that didn't take the
worst pains off. One dr said the bowel
type pains were nothing to do with the
gallbladder but then another said it was
because of the stones bile wasn't being
released into my bowel when eating, hence
the pains.
My gallbladder was removed 7 weeks ago
& it was in a worse state than
expected, it was full of pus & a large
stone as blocking my duct. Blood leaked
onto my pain causing me a longer hospital
stay.
I recovered well but have just got over my
second bout of the bowel pains, the ones
dr's said I wouldn't have no more. The
typical gallbladder pains have gone. I saw
the dr again yesterday he now says its
appears to still be a bilary problem as my
motions keep going very pale which suggest
bile isn't being released again. He thinks
there maybe debri left after the surgery
so he is sending me for an MRI scan (6 - 8
weeks to wait) & also wants to test my
stools for possible pancreas defiency
although he expects this to be ok.
I know you have posted on my thread in the
other forums sillyachick but thought
others on here may have simlar symptoms.
Does anyone know what I can expect to
happen if there is debri left behind or I
do have pancreas deficiency?
I feel I must also point out that I have
Scleroderma (CREST). I also have a hiatus
hernia, inflamed stomach & small
fibroids.

Thought I would add, I have noticed an
itching over my body sometimes but I get
no particular rash, just an occasional
spot. I have noticed this is worse when my
bowels are playing up. I have serached the
net & it appears to be linked to all
my problems.
Anyone else get the itch?
