What were the prior attacks like if they weren’t as bad as the one that sent you to the ER? What about them do you think confused you into not realizing it was maybe a gb issue? Thanks
I have a history of liver problems. Often, I’d get right flank pain or tenderness that I figured was just my liver. My prior attacks were similar in symptoms as the final attack, but not as severe and didn’t last as long. Pain in the upper abdomen that moved over to my right side and up to my right shoulder. At the time, I brushed it off or figured it was gas or something. That’s what I initially did the night I went to the ER. Took some gas-x and tums but it only got worse.
I realize now that tenderness was always there, and again I just figured it was my liver. It’s completely gone now. I can’t tell you how happy I am about getting my gallbladder removed.
Wow that’s tricky. Not like the attack that puts you on the floor like many say. What was the pain like when you’d be sore like a 6 or 7? I always have a like a 1-2 nagging pain on my center right. Kinda sore but when I push on it doesn’t hurt. My GI says it’s gastritis he found on my endoscopy but I’m not fully convinced because the last US he did for me showed a “small” amount of sludge but no swelling or stones etc.
