I am a healthy, active 19 year old female.
I have been in and out of the emergency room over the past six months and no one can seem to figure out what is wrong. I have had one scope, a CT scan, and two ultrasounds. Every time I go in it is for stomach pain. Originally the pain was in my lower left side, would stop, I would get nauseous then it would move to my right side. After about two months the pain moved and was more in the middle of my stomach. When they did my CT scan they found that the lymph nodes in my stomach were inflamed and couldn't find a reason for it.. so they sent me home. But just two weeks ago I was in emergency again in excruciating pain. The pain was right under my breast bone, all across and up my right side and right under my armpit. I was so nauseous I was vomiting and had horrible diarrhea. They figured gull stones so they did an ultrasound and found nothing. However, the doctor told me that my billirubin was high. He now thinks that there is a gull stone stuck in one of my ducts. I am getting another scope soon to see if they find a stone.. it is all getting very frustrating and I feel like they are doing random tests now because they can't figure out what's wrong..
does anyone have any suggestions??
Thanks!
Also, last time I was in the hospital I lost ten pounds in 24 hours and still have not gained them back.. I get stabbing pains approx every two hours. varying in location.. help!! this is so frustrating!
Also I was on the birth control pill for five years and just went off of it because my doc said it can cause gull stones after a certain amount of time..
A couple more things.. It seems to get worse when exercising and after eating fatty meals.. and only seems to really get bad at night..
