Gallbladder

I did. However I had my gallbladder removed back in 2003 then had exploratory surgery a month later because the doctor didn’t know what it was. At that time they removed my appendix. Years went by and I had horrible episodes. It took the doctors over a year to diagnose Pancreas Divsium (born with two pancreatic ducts that never fused together) which caused chronic pancreatitis in my case. I had almost every test and nothing caught my two ducts except the MRCP. I have been receiving treatment for the past 10 months. A general doctor won’t know what to look for. Ask for a MRCP it’s the only noninvasive test that won’t cause a pancreatitis attack. Not even the CT caught my two ducts however it did catch the atrophy which is what prompted more tests because I research my reports and saw atrophy was linked to chronic pancreatitis. I don’t drink and I’m bedridden so I didn’t know how I could get pancreatitis. We are all unique. Pancreas problems are very difficult to diagnose. Good luck. 

I still have my gallbladder.  I had acute necrotizing pancreatitis.  I have a constant pain left side right above my rib cage.  My dr told me it may never go away due to the severity of my pancreatitis.  My husband had his gall bladder removed and has absolutely no pain.  Our bodies are all so different. The pain is my new normal but then again I almost lost my life.  I would not give up.  Find a new specialist.  Don’t give up.  No one knows our pIn or bodies better than ourselves.  

If all avenues are exhausted and nothing is found it might be your new normal. 

Wishing you luck.  Keep me posted. 

You might want to be evaluated for Sphincter of Oddi disfunction.   This is not an uncommon occurrence in those that have their gallbladders removed
