Gallbladder problems?
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi everyone I was wondering if some one could give me some advice. I have been having ruq pain for a couple weeks now along with lower back pain, nausea ,and I'm tired and have no energy to do anything. I have had every test done in the book. I had the hida scan done with a result of 48% but during the test the X-ray person said that it wasn't pumping out bile like it should be. I can't sleep because I'm very uncomfortable and everything I eat causes the pain in discomfort in my ruq. I am going to see a surgeon tomorrow. I just want to tell them to take my gallbladder out. Am I wrong to say that?

Hi Ashley,
Have you had an ultrasound, showing stones? That's one of the tests that they usually perform. Did it show stones? If so, your gallbladder is probably diseased. I'm presuming that your doctor sent you to a surgeon because your doctor also believes that it needs to be removed. If that's the case, I would follow my doctor's recommendations. Once your gallbladder is diseased, it's not usually going to get better.
Best of luck to you!

You're welcome! I think it's immoral when someone with all the knowledge and education to help someone couldn't care less about a fellow human being in pain. Worse when they injure a person and won't take responsibility!
Please do let me know how you get on with this new one!
