Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 While we're on this lovely subject, does everyone with PA in the lower spine have a gut problem, too? And Ladies, have you had problems with PMS, endometriosis or anything like that? How about everybodies' gall bladder - still got one? 17 years ago, my gall bladder walls thickened and I had 1 large stone. The gall bladder ruptured before the doc could get the infection under control and I had emergency surgery. About 5 years later, I had my uterus removed. Again, because the walls had thickened. It showed up on my MRI (for the lower back) as a large mass and my OB/GYN prepared me for a long haul with cancer. Thank heavens it was just my uterus the size of a football. Now, I have had every GI test invented and every scope available to modern medicine. The GI doc is concentrating on the inside of my guts. I'm more worried about the OUTSIDE. Nobody looks at that. The last x-rays (emergency room visit after a fall) I had done showed calcification on my aorta. Spooked my rheumy. I'm considering a cardioligist now. What the devil does this mean? And does anyone else have this problem? Is it related to the PA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
