Why is my right side hurting nine years later?
by Alura, Jun 17, 2008 12:22AM
I have been having agrivating pain in my side every since I've had my gallbladder removed. Sometimes I think that it
could be phantom pain. Recently someone mentioned that I looked yellow. I brushed it off at first. Then I began to
connect it to the pain in my side. I've had every test in the world that could be done and nothing was found. I have
alot of loose stools and sometimes major constipation. During the removal of my gallbladder , there were complications. There were other doctors and nurses called in to assist. I found out after the surgery that I had lost
some blood. I think it was 13 cc's of blood. I was told that it wasn't a whole lot. But after hearing there were complications I wonder what exactly went wrong. Since then, these these pains that I continue to have seem abnormal. Are they? I thought having it removed would stop the pain not make it worse. It feels like sometimes it is still there. What is wrong? I'm afraid that I have been injured during the surgery I had nearly nine years ago.

The changes of bowel habits - alternation of loose stools and constipation - also 'fits' with the pattern of spasms.
Make sure to have your liver and pancreatic enzyme levels checked - especially after a bad bout of pain. If the doc does the blood test while you're feeling okay, everything may come back 'normal' when it actually isn't.
I have the same situation , and yu had replied to me also .
My Enzymes are alright .Still there is pain .Same Alternate Loose motions/constipations .
The Gut seems to be out of control .Is Questran the soln ?
Yu suggested Inape with Calcium .
Before testing for SOD ,should one try to fix Gut and then try SOD .
When i read the sites ,there's a whole lot of people suffering from this .
one small observation , don't keep empty stomach for long ,as bile dropping into intestine is like a Detergent flowing into Gut .Because of Pain people are scared to eat
and it makes matters worse .
Come what may eating low fat meal at regular intervals is also one imp point .
