I had my gallbladder removed in November of '07. I have been having what feels like gallbladder attacks off and on since then. One of the attacks lasted for eight hours and was bad enough to send me to the ER though they did no imaging of my abdomen and did only blood work that came back "fine" (not normal mind you, they simply said "fine"). I now have pain upper left/middle abdomen almost all the time. My doc said to take Prilosec to see if it was reflux or something, which it obviously isn't since the prilosec does nothing. Now, as of yesterday morning, I have pain in my back that is so severe when I move that I cannot help but cry out in pain. I can't go from standing to sitting or sitting to standing without the pain. Just came from doc's office and he checked all up and down my back and there was NO pain when he pressed anywhere on my back. He ordered a CT with contrast, but do not yet know when the scan will take place. He says that the pain in my back is referred pain from either my stomach or pancreas. I hate waiting and he won't even tell me what he thinks it could possibly be. I had previously been diagnosed with high blood pressure and put on meds, but I haven't taken them in two months or so and my blood pressure is dropping with each visit. Today it was 127/72 where three months ago it was 148/94. I have a slightly enlarged spleen (diagnosed with that well over a year ago) and I am "slightly anemic". I have all these little red pin ***** size dots all over my torso and arms and a little on my legs. I am completely exhausted all the time and get so short of breath with the smallest amount of activity I am beginning to really worry that something is very wrong and it's hiding just out of the doctor's reach, you know? What the heck is going on with me!?!???
