Pain after alcohol

Hi,

I’m 18 and had my gallbladder removed 6 months ago following a bout of acute pancreatis due to gallstones. 

Obviously after the op I waited a while before drinking alcohol. Within the last few months I’ve been going out and drinking. The first time it happened I had very similar back pain, nausea, faintness from when I was ill. I have to admit I had drank a lot 5+ drinks. Since then I’ve decided to drink less but have still experienced back pain. I also feel incredibly achy the next day. 

I’ve had an ultrasound to no avail and have been told there is not much that can be done. I was wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar? Or maybe it is not linked to my op or pancreatis?

Thanks , abi

    .. first of all... Alcohol pain can be well related to liver.... which is not good at all .. not even mentioning your current condition which is serious on its own.

    What is good that in most cases it can be fixed or in another words recoveryis possible. Hopefully.

    For what i can see is that alcohol doesnt help you at all... My advise worth every penny is try to adjust your livestyle. Instead of booze maybe do some dancing only. I aint saying to be abstinent for life... But for now completely avoid alcohol untill you fully recover.try to not to stress your body.

    And i hope you can dodge the bottle for some time.

    Best of luck

    You might have to stop the alcohol until those symptoms go away. Then it’s going to be trial and error to

    Find the amount you can drink without getting symptoms. 

    When I had mine out it greatly increased my stomach acid causing constant diarrhea and they had to

    Give me a medicine to decrease the stomach acids. 

    It does take a while to get back to normal.
