Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

When my gall bladder played up last year it was agonising so I can sympathise. If you're still worried and in pain after seeing the doc, I'd head off to A&E. After my first night in A&E they told me the cause of my pain was constipation and sent me home even though I told them it wasn't. I had to go back the following night because I was in such pain and was finally admitted with a severely infected gall bladder which was later removed.

Best of luck whatever it is Weenie. :tu:

Yes as Osem says the pain can be pretty unbearable having gone through it myself as well and l was pretty relieved when mine was taken out.

Sometimes both Painkillers and anti sickness tablets can require several doses to work. It's as if they build up in your system.

I've recently had my gall bladder removed, and the GP put me on Motillium for anti sickness, with instructions that I only take them if I feel sick. Trouble is, they take at least a couple of doses to work.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

The anti-sickness medication I was given were stemetil that I just could not take as they made me feel very drowsy so the anti-sickness med I'm on now is metoclopramide 10mg one three times daily, I must admit I never thought that it would take a couple of doses for them to work.

The doctor has arranged for a scan and should hear within the next few weeks 4 weeks max. The doctor was very good took blood pressure 97/76 and examined me he did state that my tummy area was tender along with tenderness where the gall bladder is located, he also stated that if I should be in that amount of pain again go straight to A&E. He then went on to say stuff about pain management just like Stuart has stated it may take a couple of doses for it to work to the desired effect he has also advised that I take my anti sickness tablets as prescribed one three times daily.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and advice.

Gall bladder and associated problems can lead to pancreatitis which is potentially life threatening so don't hang around suffering for too long and go for the scans even if you feel better.

In my case I'd had what I didn't know was the first symptom of my problem some months earlier. Several hours of intense stomach pain in the night which, after being sick, then gradually dissipated the following day. Being a normal bloke I ignored it but promised the wife I'd go to the quack if it happened again which it did a few months later. Pity they didn't get the diagnosis right first time, however, and I was admitted as an emergency from A&E and put on morphine and strong IV antibiotics for almost a week.

The consultant told me that these problems don't tend to resolve themselves so surgery is often the only answer. The good news is it can be done via keyhole surgery which means a hospital stay of only 2-3 days.

My mother had her gallstones removed that way and she's been OK since.

British summer: Three hot days and now we have the thunderstorm. Lightning is making my PC speakers crackle. :erm:

If it is the gall bladder avoid fatty foods, my mum's had hers removed and get discomfort if the eats fatty food, but then you have to have fish & chips form a chippy every now and then.

What she does before though is have a Gaviston sachet which does help.

To top it off my sister might have a gallstone, which doesn't help the week you start a new job.
