Never ending problems

I'm presuming it could be the problem in my case too, since my pain has initially started on the right side and then moved to my left.

I saw the cardiologist last week and he recommend I come off the mini pill as it makes gallbladder issues a lot worse. I have another appointment this afternoon to see my dr about my options. I knew estrogen could cause gallbladder issues but at no point has anyone told me to come off it?! He said they see lots of women who think have heart issues but it's actually their gallbladder a playing up. My GP also said to me that she will looking at her patients with OBs a bit more closely in the future to see if they have symptoms like mine so she can refer them for further investigations.

It's a good job I didn't just take what my dr and consultant were telling me and doing a lot of reading! Else is still be suffering everyday with no relief!

It's the pains on my left side that are driving me mad, there seems to be no end to them. No matter what I eat, or don't eat, the pain is always there

mine is always there.

i thought it was something to do with growing fibroid disrupting my digestive system.

i have become paranoid researching dr google for answers.

i have no faith in the doctors.

although i've had countless tests i still think they've missed a vital link.

so i've just taken my first dose of pancreatic enzymes prescribed by myself and and hour later i dont have the indigestion after my meal.

but the lower pain just above my pubic bone to the left is still there.

all in all i.m exited i might have made a breakthrough.

so any idea what i say to my doc.

how low down is your left sided pain?

Amongst many of my problems I do have endometriosis so the pains I have in my lower abdomen I cannot tell you if they are related to my gynaecological problems.

My pain on the left side is an almost constant dull ache in my ribs in my back. When I eat it aggravates the pain to a stabbing which goes across my ribs at the back, along my ribs at the front, in the middle of my ribs cage (epigastric), then I get an aching burning sensation in my upper back. I also have 1 vertebrae on my spine that is very sensitive to touch and aches a lot and is made worse if I bend over.

I too have a fibroid (5cm) in my upper uterus but they don't think my pain is related to that.

It goes quite far down and reaches 'vaguely' somewhere in my groin. The lower abdomen part is also always left and if I press on it it really hurts. No idea what it is and what triggers it, I presume its radiating from CP although doctors tell me it's IBS/Fybromalia. I need so much sleep! Also have problems after sitting down for a while, again in the groin and difficult straigntening my back. I keep waking up like its a nightmare thinking I'm in deep trouble, fact is I probably am. I have 3 young kids and can't find the energy for them, it's very sad. 

i'm assuming you're male.

so you aint got 'lady parts'

so do we have 'bladder' pain in common.

some days i have problem trying to pi other days i'm to the loo all the time.

you will probably think i'm mad but can i ask you...do you ever feel something twitching in the pain site.like as though something is wiggling about.

anyone else experienced this?

no twitching....

I need to pee all through the night...

every gallbladder site on dr google insist the pain is on the right.

so i tend to cross gallbladder off my list.

also appendix is on the right.

but recently i've spoken to women who had pain under left ribs and subsequently had their gallbladders out.

why is it that whichever forum i research, everyone is desperate for answers and the people who should be giving us answers (doctors) havent a clue.
