thats EXACTLY how its feeling tonight!!! the pain is under the breasts, and on the right side, around to the back of the kidney area. its ok after a few hours, till i eat or drink.
That sounds like what I had, they couldn't find any stones on x-rays, but when they took it out, the surgeon said it looked like, someone had dumped coarse ground pepper in it, I was 20, my 16 year old neice just had the same thing, It was terribly painful.
When I had mine taken out, I had the big incision that's about 8 inches long: of course, that was in the "olden" days, before all this modern technology! Shows ya how old I am!Originally Posted by Catkiki
If it is gallstones then you will probably have the surgery soon. It is simple. I have 4 tiny incisions because they did it laproscopic. I had internal desolvable stitches and steristips on the outside. You can barely see the scars now except for the one just above my belly button. I was back at work in 10 days.
My doc said my gallbladder was full of tiny stones. He said they stopped counting at 25!He was supposed to save them for me but he forgot! I know that sounds weird, but I have actually seen some larger gallstones and they are quite pretty. LOL My hubby used to work in surgery and brought a couple home in a test tube.
