blood work to an MRI and they gave the doctors no clue as to what could be wrong with my stomach. I had my gallblader (gallbladder) removed becaused it was inflamed and it was the only thing they found that was abnormal. I had the surgery for nothing I still have the same pain I did before the surgery. Everything I eat or drink causes pain even drinking water. Most of the time the pain is dull but other times the pain is like being stabbed with a knife. I used to only have the pain for a day or two now it is constantly there. I do not feel like eating because it will cause more pain. When the pain is really bad I call it an "episode' I can barely move I cannot lie on that side without wincing in pain and wind up vomiting for two or three days. During an episode I cannot stretch my body out without causing more pain or take deep belly breaths
and take over the counter meds for it. I was a premie at birth I weighed one pound thirteeen ounces. I have had previous surgeries and have some adhesions. I had NEC as an infant
bag for three months after the infection while my body was healing enough to repair the damaged portion of my stoamch. i just want some relief. Does anyone have any clue what could be causing my current stomach problems?
Have you had colonoscopy, endoscopy? Sometimes people develop SOD after gallbladder surgery which is a narrowing of the bile ducts maybe they can check you for that I hear that can be quite painful and feel just like a gallbladder attack? Hope you feel better.
I would definately investigate sphincter of oddi dysfunction!
You sound very similar to me! I have had every test under the sun done and all show "normal", I too had my gallbladder removed and it was inflamed! This has not helped anything at all!
I am investigating the SOD theory at the moment......
