What now...

I am a 27 year old female who in July had my gallbladder out.  I had two stones in the gall bladder at the time of the removal, but had built water or fluids around it.  I had sever pain for about 4 months after the removal, and had an ERCP done just before Thanksgiving, with a stone removed.  I was in the hospital from it for 4 days, due to pancreatitis.  I was fine for about a week then started having the sharp consistant pain in my right upper abdomen and back.  It feels the same as if they never removed the stone.  I am wondering what could be causing this?   I am tired of being in constant pain.  Can more stones develope? And should I wait the month for my appointment or see a different doctor?

Thank you for the comment.  I hope that I don't have to lost any more organs.  My appendix requested to be removed in 02.  I just want to get back to my normal healthy life.  Working out and being active hurts and it's putting a strain.  So hopefully it's a quick fix, whatever they have to do I just want the pain gone.

I had problems with chronic pancreatitis which was triggered gall stones for years.  Last year I had half my pancreas and my spleen removed because of a benign growth that had progressively gotten bigger with every pancreatitis attack.  I have noticed eating dairy products of any kind causes severe pain later in my case.  I still have my gall bladder and seem to develop gall stones when I eat dairy products. Hopefully, your condition is not as severe as mine was but, an ultrasound of the pancreas could help with the diagnostics, I would think. Best wishes!
