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.
