Anyone who has a Sliding Hietias Hernia??, please read this and tell me i'm not mad!!!!

Posted , 8 users are following.

I went to the doctors over a year ago with pain under my right rib!, which now is constant!!. He was reluctant to send me for tests, but in the end he sent me for an ultrasound which showed a polyp in my Gallbladder. They said that wont be causing me the pain, although I get a stabbing pain in my shoulder blade and belch constantly when eating of drinking. Slowly the pain has got worse and I feel like there's a golf ball under my ribs, my diaphragm feels swollen, like a stitch, the pain goes stabs like a stinging mussel!. Then I started getting acid burning, badly, constantly!, the ppi's seem to make it worse, none of the tablets worked!!. They did a colonoscopy to rule out the bowel, as i'm so bloated I look pregnant all the time. That didn't show much, has 2 ct scans, mri, a gallbladder function test, then had endoscopy which showed the hernia and a phstudy test that show high levels of reflux. And that's it, left me too it. I'm now in constant pain, burning in my chest, bloated, can't eat anything without it hurting and burning!!!.

I got so desperate I paid 200 pounds to go private, and been told its all in my head!!!. I was tested for helicobacter which was negative!. I'm totally at my whits end, and at a dead end!!.

I was recommended to see a allergy testing clinic, so I paid again for tests, she said I had diary intolerance, something picking up on my gallbladder, maybe sludge, high levels of protein and helicobactor!!!. I have all these herbal remedies (more money), and says they will work but I have totally lost all hope!!, anyone out there that can help???? :-(

    OMG Jean, that's awful! They should of offered you surgery for sure

    !!. I'm on 40 Mls which stop it for a couple hours but like you, as soon as I eat, no matter what it burns. It feels like a knife is twisting in my shoulder blade and a horrible constant cramp feeling under my right rib. It's almost impossible to wear a bra! Which I hate but it kills if I do! My friend had the opp and it worked for her. I've heard good and bad stories but you must push to get this done!
