away and is a stabbing pain. I have been nauseated every day for over a year now. The last 6 weeks
the nausea has kinda subsided because I had surgery for 5 Kidney stones. This was on the left side though. I went to the doctor and showed them exactly where I hurt, my feet and legs were swollen
as well as my stomach. I look like I'm 4 months pregnant! I am so bloated, constipated and have constant belching after eating. It seems worse if I have fried foods or meat. I know I have a hernia. I have had an endoscopy, cardiology tests...they said I had Congestive
Heart Failure and now the new diagnosis is COSTACHONDRITIS. They have given me all kinds of pain meds and anti-inflamatories, Prednisone and my stomach is so distended I feel like I could bust. Since I got rid of the Kidney stones I haven't been nauseated but a couple of times. They say this is all caused by having 28 kidney stones and 11 Lithotripsies
and that the shockwaves has caused this condition. I have had 3 doc say "well, I'm 95% sure it's not your gallbladder, the next one will say the same thing and I SAY I AM 100% SURE THAT NONE OF THEM KNOW WHAT IT IS! I am sick and tired of not feeling well.
If you feel the issue is with your gallbladder ask your doc to do both a gallbladder ultrasound and a HIDA scan with CCK injection. Also make sure to have your liver and pancreatic enzyme levels checked. The tests aren't 100 percent accurate, but they're the best that we currently have.
