pancreatitis

583644 tn?1221445546 I asked him if it was possible that my stones were moving around and he told me that kidney stones do not move around and they do not cause pain. He told me I needed to have my gallbladder out, so I did to find out 2 weeks later from a different ER doctor that my gallbladder was not infected, inflamed, nor did it possess any gall stones. My GP also would not refer me to a urologists. Instead he referred me to an orthopedic surgeon who did an MRI.
Avatar n tn Within the last two years she has been diagnosed with kidney stones, anemia, pancreatitis, hypokalemia, mixed connective tissue disease, asthma, raynauds disease, mono, bronchitis, pleurisy, pericarditis, chostochondritis, uti's, kidney infections...She has had a fever for weeks...The drs say her potassium is dangerously low and they've given her multiple IV's with potassium, but it hasn't helped make any improvements.
Avatar f tn My PCP stated that the tracer did not fully leave my kidney. I have a history of kidney stones and my left ureter has scar tissue due to surgery so I am concerned about that. My PCP is going to refer me to a rheumatologist. I'm using pain killers to deal with the pain on daily basis. Do you have any suggestions as to what I can do? Thank you so much!

Avatar n tn I am having some serious pains when I get up from laying down. The pains are typically located on the left side or the entire upper abdomen. When the pains are on the left side they are also located in my back. I usually take the back pain for my kidney pain (I've had kidney stones since 2004) but I'm worried that with this condition (I was recently diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism, although have been having symptoms for years) it could be something serious (pancreatitis?).
Avatar n tn Have you considered actute pancreatitis or chrnic pancreatitis? Look up their symptoms and if you think that is what you have then the first thing to do is to ask your doctor for blood work and an ultrasound.
Avatar m tn been suffering from pancreatitis and doctors thinking my gallbladder may be messed up....How common is it to have had a normal HIDA scan with no apparent stones?
Avatar m tn I have both GB stones and Kidney stones (well, the Kidney Stones come and go) and I would never do that type of regime .. not ever. The consequences can be fatal. How are you doing? Did you have your surgery? Please stop by with an update and WELCOME to our Community!
Avatar n tn I went to the doctor the other night for chest pains and found out I had acid reflex..... When they ran the blood tests they found I had elevated Lipase ( H 299). For the past few months I have had stomach discomfort.... What could this mean? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/232211'>Elevated lipase level</a>.
9358102 tn?1418673367 Went to the er and they took me straight to labor and delivery. It ended up being what they believed to be kidney stones. They did a catheter for fresh urine from my bladder and pumped me full of liquids. I was down for the count for about 4 days but all is better now. Definitely go in if you havent.
Avatar n tn They did want to put him on dialysis but his kidney is healthy and fine. He had a stomach virus and he was getting treatment and then it went to a bladder infection and from the bladder it turned into a kidney infection. He got got treatment and he got better. About 2 weeks later he is back in the hospital with the same problem and they cant figure out where the infection is coming from. I am very grateful to you for replying, Doctors in Trinidad aren't very liable.
Avatar n tn The Nephrologist ruled out kidney stones, narrowing of arteries in my kidneys, kidney infection, kidney failure, etc. i had xrays before and after I saw her and they never showed any stones or blockages. My CT also did not show any stones. I do not take any aspirin whatsoever. I used to take aspirin when i was a baby for my JRA but have not taken any aspirin since gosh probably since i was 10.
Avatar f tn It can be due to abdominal distention, irritable bowel syndrome, pancreatitis, inguinal hernia,kidney stones,or just anxiety that caused pain in testicle as your husband was a bit nervous with his pain in abdomen. Request-Im not to threaten you with all of these scary medical terms but abdominal pain in all of these cases must be associated with other symptoms like nausea, vomiting,diarrhea,long lasting pain,blood in stools and lot more.
Avatar n tn Ultrasound and mrcp showed only sluge and polyp in gallbaldder and all duct were normal size w/o stones. I am monitored by a cardio and all my blood test and lft have been normal for a couple of years although they did rise during the ap attack with only the bili being elevated out of normal ranges. Dr thought this was probably due to the amount of morphine used in the AP attack. Recommend taking out GB due to sludge and possiblity of it causing the AP.
Avatar n tn I thought it could be kidney stones, but I can relate it more with some sort of gastro problem because it hurts strongly after I eat, and before I need to go to the bathroom. ANy ideas?
Avatar f tn my husband went to hospital had a lot of pain said he had kidney stones and treated him for them, then right after that he has had savere pain in his shoulders cant even lift his arms hasnt done anything to cause injury. know one can tell us whats going on have had him back to hospital and dr 7 times took a lot of blood work founf=d he has a high level of inflammation in his muscels help what is wrong with him?
Avatar f tn s been quite a while since the last round of x-rays, you might ask for another one to see if your girl has developed bladder or kidney stones. They may have been present previously but not large enough to see. Since UTIs have been a life-long problem for her, I think it's worthwhile to do some more in-depth testing to figure out why it keeps coming back. Have you paid much attention to how much water your dog drinks?
Avatar n tn My husband does not drink alchol and did not have gallstones and eats healthy. He is into his fitness and takes care of himself. We suspect he has had 4 other flare ups previously over the last 4 years, but this was the first time we had a diagnosis. He was also admitted to hospital 3 months ago with kidney stones. GP suspects an autoimmune disease.
Avatar n tn It showed a Kidney stone between the kidney and bladder. When I returned home the ER doctor called to tell me that he should have told me that the CT scan also showed a prominent pancreas tail. Is this a cause for alarm ?
Avatar m tn I was a heavy drinker myself, and has several bouts of pancreatitis, and finally had my gall bladder removed (over 100 little gall stones). just checking on ya and hope all is well.
Avatar f tn Have u been tested for Hepatitis C?
Avatar n tn If the pain is in the left lumbar region (see the quadrants of abdomen—a google image should get you this), then this could be due to stomach issues (like acidity), it may be due to pancreatitis, or spleen issues or kidney stones or kidney infection or due to urinary infection or colitis. An ultrasound of the abdomen followed by urine and stool examination may help clinch the diagnosis. You may need additional tests like CT scan of abdomen, serum amylase, lipase etc.
Avatar n tn I have read that gallbladder surgery is dangerous in the presence of pancreatitis and that the pancreatitis can also cause gallbladder disease or vice versa. Anyone had similar question?
