GALLSTONES

[netjie]

I had another gallstone attack last night. It was horrible,this time I sweat and I got the chills. It started just before midnight and gradually subsided just before 5 am today. Any suggestions on how serious my condition might be. I am still waiting for a date to have my gallbladder removed. My stomach also cramped more than usuall and my back between my shoulder blades more on the right spasmed a lot.

hi i had my GB out a week ago so far so good. had lots of little stones and was inflamed a little. i'm glad i had it out because down the line it would probably  come out anyway with other problems could happen. so my addvice don't suffer any longer do it soon. my surgeon scheduled my surgery within a week.

You can visit the GI Community for great advice.  I've done a search for you and have found these links for you ... also, feel free to send me a message .. I have too much personal gallbladder experience, having many attacks and have stones.  It really should be out but is still in ..... my 16yr old had hers removed in January of this year, so do send me a message if you'd like ,and I can help you along this miserable roller coaster you are on.

Also, some warning signs to be aware of like fever or yellowing of skin  .. if you get a fever and/or this doesn't subside or gets worse definitely see your ER immediately - a stone can get lodged in the common bile duct  .. I'd touch base with your doctor today regardless.
