thank you for your response. I am calling the doctor tomorrow. my main concern now is my gallbladder. back in 2007 I had gallstones that blocked the bile duct and was told at the ER that it needed to be removed, no insurance so it was not done. now I am having slight pain in that area. I just want to make sure that nothing is going on due to me not having it taken out.
then I will proceed with the other issues, my leg pain will probably be next.
I do appreciate your help.
Hello,
Such pain could be due to UTI, cystitis (bladder infection), trapped wind or intestinal gas, constipation, anxiety or kidney stones. Investigations like blood tests (CBC, ESR), urine test, x ray, ultrasound or CT/MRI scan can be required to rule out the diagnosis. Treatment option depends on identifying the cause. Use of pain relievers can give you temporary relief.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
