Could this gallstones.

Posted , 3 users are following.

i have a complicated history of diverticulitis, abscess, bowel resection, iliostomy bag for 3 months, then reversal. also appendicitis removed die to adhesions. now i'm getting attacks of pain that is really bad, not every day, but when it happens it's always around 5 pm. last until about 11. steady colicky pain that makes me feel really sick. no pain pills touch it. I am seeing surgeon in april. The pain is mainly in mid back, discomfortin abdomen but not pain. The bad pain is all in the back. i dread it because it's so recogniseable now. i know i didn't have gallstones in november, i had an ultrasound, I'm not sure though if they were looking for gallstones, it was because of the appendix pain. Could this be gallstones or gallbladder related?

    Hello, I was Wondering do you have nausea? Or vomiting? Also digestion issues go along with gallbladder disease. I'm sure your doctor should have told you about if you have stones. Ask your doctor If they did find stones or sludge. Then go from there.

    Gp cancelled. Will see him next week. Think I'm confused because i have read gallbladder attacks happen at night. My pain starts at 4 or 5 in the afternoon when i get them. Same pattern though. Lasts for hours and ii feel sick.. does timimg matter.
