last summer and had my gall bladder removed. I have pain daily in that area and pretty much all over that general area. Also, sometimes my lungs hurt. I don't drink alcohol and hardly eat. I don't have insurance or any money and can't afford to go to a doctor's office. Is there anything to worry about? I am worried but don't know if I should go to the hospital or wait till I can't tolerate it anymore. Also, they said my labs were indicative of hepatitis but I tested negative for it. But it has been six months since all this but the pain persists. Should I ignore the pain? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I also wanted to add I've had MRIs, CT Scan, etc before I had my gal bladder removed and they said there was sludge and I guess they assumed that would cure everything. I don't have a PCP or anything unless someone out there who knows of a doctor or clinic that does pro bono work in the Nashville area.
I am scared, worried, hurting constantly, and can't find any advice or help online and the docs at the hospital weren't very helpful.
I just need some advice really, should I go to the hospital (a different one) or just wait for areally bad day where I can't stand it? Also, the nurses accused me of being addicted to pain meds because I was in so much pain and the meds weren't touching the pain, which really pissed me off, and that is also part of the reason I haven't sought anymore help, I didn't want to be accused of that again.
