isn't the gall bladder on the right side ?? ....

Yes it is on the right side but you can have pain all over. It can even feel

like a heart attack at time. I know with me my first symptoms were chest pain,

that moved into shortness of breath then the most horrible stabbing pain that

brought forth screaming. It was horrible. Thank goodness now I only have to

watch what I eat since I don't have the gallbladder to filter out the fats and

all. If I slip and eat something that has to much fat I get very very sick.

I never found anything that would help. Eventually the pains passed but

the problem was still there. You might can get the doctor to phone you

something in until you can get in to see him though. Some of the pain killers

might

help. OTC items didn't do it for me.

Everyone has said that they experienced chest pains kind of like heart

attack pains but I haven't had those. Just the stabbing pains in my left

side and the rest of my torso area feels....weird... kind of like I'm

full all the time and have eaten too much. Of course I haven't eaten too

much because when I talked to my PA yesterday, he put me on a liquid

diet for 24 hours plus I'm supposed to take a laxative. The man thinks

every problem I have is related to poo some how. I'm supposed to get

" cleaned out " then call him tomorrow to make sure I'm still having the

pain after I have a bm. I already did..and I am...Any suggestions for

easing the pain since I probably won't get to see the doc or have the

ultrasound until Friday or sometime next week??

,

I never had chest pains either. Just pain in my right side right

between my hip bone and my ribs. started off like a dull pain then

got progressively stronger over a period of 30 min to the point to

where i vomited(pain so bad) and all i could do was lay down for the

rest of the day. I also had countless ultrasounds and tests and

nothing ever showed up. Ask your Dr about a Hydoscan. If your tests

come back ok and you are still having pains.

Let me know how things go...I wish this pain on no one...So I know

what you are going thru...

what kept my gallbladder attacks in check was to keep away from the

triggers. personally, that was greasy food.

Thanks Lori, I'll keep that in mind. Although I don't eat any greasy

foods-yesterday I had 2 chicken nuggets from Mickey D's. But that was

after the pain had already started. I have an ultrasound on Friday. I'll

let you guys know what they say.
