Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 I read about your recent RUQ pain. It sounds like some of the ones I had prior to my tx. Most went away without treatment of any kind after 4 to 6 hours. Some were so bad I took Codeine to reduce the pain. This drug or any other isn't going to make the episode go away. Twice I went to the ER because it was so bad. Once by ambulance, one by taxi. By the time I was seen the pain had mostly or completely resolved. Both my Hepatologist and I felt this was probably due to sludge in the bile ducts that eventually passed. The most important thing was that I didn't have a fever or chills or radiation of the pain to other places. It stayed in my gut or side and didn't move. Good luck. Therefore it wasn't ascending cholangitis, an infection going up into your liver which requires antibiotics. Aubrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
