Has anybody had gallstones or chorlecystitus and after an attack for about a couple of weeks your body aches?

I had a really bad case of gall bladder disease. I had about 40 gall stones, but my surgeon was great, and got rid of that bad boy.  After an attack, I would be very, very tired for the rest of the day, and sore particularly in my right shoulder blade for a day or so.  Not weeks. Best thing that ever happened for me physically was having my gall bladder removed.  I feel normal again!

There are some medications out there but ultimately you will probably have to have surgery.  Gall stone pain can sometimes mimic a heart attack.  Today the surgery for gall stones is much less evasive than it used to be.  Be sure to avoid fatty foods and change your diet as probably specified by your physician.  Gall stones are painful.  I have had my gall bladder removed.  I only have about a 1 inch scar.  Isn't modern medicine great!  lol  My thoughts are with you!

If it was cancer, you would definitely know it by now. You probably have a less serious condition. Gall bladder disease is painful in the upper right part of your back. (I know... the gall bladder isn't even located there. But that's where most people feel the pain.) When you say it's your stomach, what exactly do you mean? Behind your breastbone? That's where your stomach is. Lower in your belly? That's where your intestines are, along with your liver and other organs. I'm surprised that nobody has given you a diagnosis -- even to tell you it's acid reflux or ulcers or an irritated colon. Do you get relief from taking anything such as antacids? Do certain foods make it worse? Does it happen only after you eat, or is the pain evident all day?? Are you constipated all the time? Do you have gas with it? Write down all the details... whenever you get the pain, write down the time, what you ate, what makes it go away, what the intensity is (on a scale of 1-10), etc. The more details you can provide your doctor, the better. Also, ask for a referral to a gastroenterologist. That's a doctor specializing in digestive tract problems. You also might consider that it's nerves. But see a specialist first.

Yes, gallbladder pain can radiate.  It can feel like back pain or even stomach cramps, and can make you feel short of breath (called Murphy's sign).  And if you get a colon cleanse with an inflammed/infected gallbladder, like the first guy said, it could rupture and you may die a slow and horrible death of peritonitis.  Have you had an ultrasound of the actual gallbladder?  This can bother you even when you are not eating, and intermittant pain can be a sign of passing the gall stones.  I have done this a few times and it was the worst pain I ever felt in my life, even worse than child birth.  There are the five F's risk factors of gallbladder disease:  Female, Fat, Fertile, Family history, and over Forty.  If you have more than three, you should get rechecked, especailly if you have had a baby recently (that IS IF you are a female).

Gallbaladder attacks are caused by allergies to high fat foods, quit drinking anything that has high sugar contents, soda, juice things like that, start drinking lots of water and your diet should probably change, I would eat plain food, like veges with no sauce or garnish, which means no butter too!!! just lightly steam veges for a couple of minutes, but not to long, also you could eat plain boneless skinless chicken breast. Just everything has to be very plain, no wheat, no sugar, basically no carbs, only veges and very lean protien. I had a gallbladder attack and they removed mine and I am only 27, after wards I did research and what I found out was very interesting, change your diet for a couple of weeks and see if that helps. I wish I would have known that, instead I had to lose a body part. I never had heartburn or issues before my attack, it just happened all of a sudden, but if you follow a low fat diet with no sugar you should be alot better in a couple of weeks.\n\nYour stool is weird because your gallbladder is not releasing enough enzymes to break down the fat in your foods, so if you reduce or cut completely your fat intake your gallbladder will be able to catch up( I guess that is how you can word it).\n\nPlease try this before you have gallbladder surgery, I wsih that I would have known about this before I had mine out. \n\nLet me know how it goes,\nLissa7903@yahoo.com\n\nMelissa

Gall Bladder surgery IS a nessecary thing.  I had mine removed about 6 months ago, as a medical emergency.  My gall bladder contained over 100 stones, and was so full of bile, it almost killed me.  I didn't even think there was anything wrong with me.  One night I started throwing up violently, so I was taken to the ER.  After several tests, it was determined that I had Pancreatitis, caused by my overflowing, and inactive Gall Bladder.  Since I've had it out, I have felt great, and had NO complications.

If you are male it is most likely your appendix. Please get it checked out. If it ruptures it could be fatal. \n\nIf you are female it can also be the appendix or it could just be ovulation. Some women can feel it when the cyst that holds the eggs ruptures. It can hurt for about 24 hours.\n\nAnd for the record your gall bladder isn't by your waist it is up just to the right of your stomach under the bottom of your rib cage. And it will feel like a stomach ache or like a heart attack. I learned that one frome experience.

Poor baby!! I'm afraid you're going to have to go bland for a while, until your system gets accustomed to the gall bladder being gone. The good news is that the rumbling & running will get better about a month or so after surgery. As far as grains go, they can cause excess gas so maybe cut back on those. Also, certain types of veggies, broccoli or cauliflower can cause upset. When you do yogurt, be sure you get the kind with active, live cultures in it. You might try toast & boiled eggs for breakfast, or even scrambled eggs as long as nothing greasy was used to cook them. Oddly enough, I can eat Mexican any time I want & not get sick, so it's going to be a trial & error thing for you for a bit after you heal. Apple sauce, jello, pudding, soups - nothing fatty or greasy. Sorta stick to the BRAT diet - bananas, rice, apple sauce & toast - it helps. Plus the yogurt!! I think you're on the right track, but it really does take 4 to 6 weeks for the rumbling to calm down. If it doesn't, a gastroenterologist can prescribe a medication you can use with your meals to help your system adjust. It's a powder you sprinkle on your food. Good luck & hang in there - it does get better!!

You definitely need to see your doctor.   These symptoms could be a variety of things, including heart attack as mentioned, but also gall bladder attack, though gall bladder attack doesn't usually last more than an hour or so.  Panic attacks might also be a possibliity.  In any case it is DEFINITELY something not best answered here but at your doctor's office!!!!!!

my sister had her gall bladder removed and they accidentally cut her bile ducts which caused her many problems and a month in the hospital...  I would go to the doctor right away.

I had the opposite problem.  My doctor kept diagnosing hiatus hernia or flare-ups caused by its scarring.  After many years of being ill on and off I visited the surgery and found my usual doctor was on holiday.  Seen by another who diagnosed impacted gall stones within two minutes.  Weeks later, gall bladder removed, never been sick since - that was ten years ago.  The test the doctor who discovered the gall problem was to push his fingers into my stomach under my lower rib cage - not sure which side, but by God it hurt.   His diagnosis was immediate quickly followed  and confirmed by ultrasound.  Fish and chips were my main culprit, followed by sausages, followed by cheese.  Cream cakes were like dynamite.   Wish you well and good luck.

If it hurts near your rib cage on the right side it could be your gall bladder.  I kept having sharp pains and finally went to the dr.  I have since had my gall bladder removed and I don't have the pains anymore.  So, if it persists go to your dr. don't wait too long though.

I highly recommend you see a doctor.  The fact that you have pain after you eat suggests gall bladder pain.  Gall bladder pain can refer to the left side.  You really need to have blood test, perhaps an ultrasound.  Very easy to determine what this is from.  GET TO A DOCTOR!

Cholesterol stones usually refer to gall stones due to their composition. Typical symptoms include nausea, bloating, abdominal pain especially after eating high fat meals.

it could be post tramatic stress syndrome where you are worried about it happening again and your body goes into a phase where it reacts as if its happening again. the orgasim thing i wouldnt worry to much about. for the last 6mo, i have been having chest pain and if you look at every medical website out there, and i told you the symptoms that accompany my chest pain you would tell me i am having the exact symptoms of a heart attack. i have been to a cardiologist and have had many, many tests done and there is nothing wrong with my heart, lungs or anything in my chest. the very idea that i will have an attack will bring on an attack. you could be experiencing the same thing. the fear that it will happen again makes your body react to the way it reacted when the action took place. i would talk to a family dr about it and see someone about it. usually you can see someone for about 20 mn once a month, just to give them updates and such, and it is very affordable. also, you might try to go to webmd.com and read about home treatment for panic attacks.

You’ve already been answered correctly by Shannon.  Once the gall stones have been removed, usually the gall bladder is also removed as it usually affected by chronic cholecystitis, and if left in-situ it may lead to recurrence of cholecystitis.  However, certain patients do have a tendency of their bile forming stones by the process of sedimentation.   Now this can only happen after a surgical removal of gall bladder in the CBD (Common Bile Duct) which carries the bile from the liver into an opening in the small intestine (its duodenal part).  IF this CBD is somehow damaged or constricted, stones can start forming in it and may again restart gall colic.  Sometimes the stones, being small as they are, get into the pancreatic duct and may block it, resulting in pancreatitis and its resulting complications.
