A bit of advise please
Posted , 5 users are following.
after a year of constipation recently i started getting right hand side pain, lost my appitite and feel generally rubbish.
the doctor has sent away for blood tests and will send me for a scan in about 4 weeks. i was wondering is 4 weeks not a long time to wait or is it unlikely that galbladder problems can lead to more serious issues in this space of time?
thanks

I went to the local a&e explained it all AGAIN they gave me buscopan injection codeine and paracetamol and eventually after 3 hours the pain went. We packed up and came home anyway I've since had 5 more bad attacks been into a&e 8 times in total and they bandied about. 1. Ulcers. 2 . Gastritis. 3 gallstones and then they thought maybe the colonoscopy had perforated my bowel, the a and e kept saying they couldn't scan me ( I was begging ) I had to be referred by gp so I went to gp he referred me. I got the date 27th August. It was the 15th by now 12 days time. The following morning at 6 am I was rushed back to a&e vomiting constantly and in severe pain. Sweat was dripping from me and I was so weak I couldn't stand. They took one look at me and decided enough was enough and admitted me ( at last ) and guess what? I could have a scan that afternoon!!! AMAZING eh lol . The results of the scan showed I do indeed have 3 gallstones one of them has recently passed down a tract and got stuck next to my pancreas. So I have severe pancreatitis. The doctor in the hospital told me if id waited the 12 days for my scan I'd be dead. OMG I was so scared. I was been in for 5 days . On 3 lots of really strong iv antibiotics and litres and litres of drip fluids to flush it. A catheter ( ughhhhhh awful ) and at least 30 needles so far. But I'm slowly on the mend. I've never felt so awful in my life Tbh with you all its horrendous. My white blood count was sky high but is back to normal. I wasn't allowed food for 3 days. In the last 12 weeks I've lost 3 stone. Which is great cos I'm a big girl and I needed to. got an emergency operation date for the gallbladder to be removed for the 16th oct, ( dreading it, so scared) Sorry it's been such a long read but reading all your experiences has really helped me. I know mines probably a rare experience and I don't want to scare anyone but wanted to share please wish me luck everyone xxx Also wanted to say, please keep on at them about your scan as it can turn to something worse All the best
