I surgeon said that I have had the most gallstones he had ever seen one entity have... great just my luck. I started to feel better for rather while but the past month I have had affliction not as bad as my gallbladder attacks but its a constant pain where my gallbladder be and crazy back pain. they have done crazy amounts of tryout. Oh and i have nausea and vomiting on a regular basis. they just put me on hydro morphine, mussel spasm medication and nausea medication and still it doesn't help out really. oh and they said last time i was in the hospital, i own been back 3 times since surgery, that i had inflamed rib cartilage. and give me more pills for that, but my insurance thinks i don't need them because i am so young so i am waiting for approval... of late my luck...

Answers:
You need to see another doctor! My daughter just have her gall bladder removed this past week, 10 weeks after having her son. After the surgery, she started to quality better, until they had her eat some solid food. Then she experienced pain similar to none other. It was so bad that the pain could not be manage by morphine and a cocktail of other drugs. It was determined that there still could be a stone residing in the biliary duct that go through the pancreas. The following day her surgeon and a gastroenterologist performed a ERCP in which an freedom is inserted down the esophagus, through the stomach, into the small intestine, and up into the duct. Any remaining stones were removed and her bile duct, which was very tiny, be enlarged so that any remaining material could drain.

Has anyone done an MRI on your upper abdomen, or done test to determine whether your liver enzymes or pancreatic enzymes are elevated?

You may want to see a gastroenterologist, because this doctor can fix the issue of stones surrounded by the ducts, but he/she can also look at other causes for all of the abdominal pain

I hope this help!
No. You need to see another doc, hon.

I had a laproscopic gall bladder surgery and be walking the next day, and zero backache since. Got to keep my gall stones... one the size of a hazelnut, and about 60 others of varying sizes from grain of sand to half the size of a rice..

It sounds to me like you have an infection of your peritoneum , or that you are leak bile from a nick somewhere. There should never be this kind of pain, hon, never.
See a different doc, hon. This isn't commonplace, I promise. Source(s): dad and husband both mds.
