Gallbladder, not gallstones
by Ush, Oct 08, 2001 12:00AM
About three years ago I had two ultrasounds after experiencing terrible pains in my left side. The doctors concluded that my gallbladder did not expand and contract correctly. I was told that I could choose whether or not to have surgery, so I took a week or two to decide. During that time my pains disappeared and have remained gone for the past three years. Just recently I have been feeling extremely nauseous and the times that I have thrown up it is always bile. I normally have a strong stomach and have not been exposed to any stomach viruses. I was wondering if my gallbladder could be causing this.??

i experienced pain in my RIGHT side for 3 years on and off before they finally removed my gall bladder. the symptoms i had were SEVERE pain, i was cold all the time, i couldn't eat, i had no energy and very bad nausea but i never threw up. it has been 5 years since they took it out and i'm still in pain. i didnt have gall stones either. they said it just quit working and the bile was backing up into my liver and was very concentrated... whatever that is supposed to mean.
