Gallbladder back pain?!

Posted , 3 users are following.

To start off about a month ago now i began having right middle back pain that started at work, i have an office job.

This pain kept coming back everyday sitting& i thought i had pulled a muscle. time went on & it kept hurting more often!

I would also feel swollen or bloated on my right side near me rib cage with some aches but nothing too bad! I do take colesvelam for my ibs or maybe it was gallbladder all along?

Finally went in to the DR because my back pain wasnt ending, i could hardly sit through a movie. They did an ultrasound that shows i have a large stone & they recommended i have it removed soon, i see a surgeon in two days

Did anyone else have really bad back ache from their gallbladder ? i am worried that what if its not my gallbladder even though its like directly behind it

also does anyone have diahrrea after having it removed as i have a vacay in two months & worry i wont be able to enjoy it:/

    I don't think you we I'll be able to vacation. Especially after 2 months. This is major surgery you know. You will still be recovering for a year. Also symptoms will be loose stools, nausea, pain,hard moving body because all of your organs need to recover from being moved during surgery. After 2 months I was still hurting. No bending or walking got long periods. I hope you recover nicely. Good Luck to you.

    no hospital stay. unless problems during surgery. But is very slim. I had to wait for a year. If you are lucky you will be ready now. Usually it takes longer because surgeons will wait till you are deathly sick. That's the norm.
