Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Hi all, After leaving Mayo on Wednesday with pain in the upper abdomen I went home feeling a little better only to get excruciating pain on Thursday again. I decided to go to the hospital when it became apparent that I needed some help to get through this episode. The ER did an X-ray and ultrasound of my gall bladder and found no stones but felt that the gall bladder wasn't functioning properly. This morning (Friday) I had a function test that revealed the gall bladder was unable to fill up until after injection morphine to relax it. So, I need to have it removed. They hope this will alleviate the pain I have been battling off and on for the past 5 months. Has anyone else had this problem and was there more involved with the pancreas as well? That is what Dr. Whiteman worried about. I was send home today with pain killers and told the operation would take place within the next two weeks sometime. I just hope to not hurt like that again!!! But am happy to be home with the kids again. Asenath really missed me. I also had an episode with Reglan that was unpleasant. Anyone else?
