Avatar f tn She then referred me to a surgeon to perform exploratory surgery. I found a new doc at this point because this didn't seem right to me to jump to surgery so quickly. The new doc read the report from the hospital and told me that he thought the pain was caused from my appendix the whole time. He sent my scan to a surgeon who agreed with him and said he would have taken my appendix out the day I was in the hospital had he been the one on call.
Avatar m tn I am 58 year old female and had my gallbladder removed 4 weeks ago, my scars are totally healed and I was feeling great and resume my normal life and normal eating habits (meat included). I have started experiencing real bad upper abdominal pain just under my breast and the pain stretch right around my body. But worse part is where they removed the gall bladder. I do have a spastic colon and are a gerd (or is it gord) sufferer. Is this because of a wrong diet maybe the eating of meat?

Avatar f tn If internally inside the abdomen nothing has been caught, then you must consult your doctor for a clinical examination when there is swelling and pain. There are two main possibilities. One is an abscess in your abdominal wall, within the muscles. The second is cancer of the muscles of the abdominal wall. If the pain comes cyclically with your menstrual cycle then it can also be endometriosis. Another possibility is tuberculosis. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined.

490128 tn?1218670389 Most of my colitis problems began after the removal of my Gallbladder. But when a Gallbladder begins mis functioning your bowel movements will go from brown to yellow because sometimes it puts out not enough bile and then all of a sudden it puts out way to much. This is where sudden diarrhea occurs that are greasy and discolored with a lot of cramping and then you may go to constipation. I wish you good luck with your digestive health.
