Showing Original Post only (View all)Anyone had gallbladder issues? [View all]
76, healthy, slightly overweight but not obese, take no meds, still work full time. I started having right side abdominal crampy pains - not horrible but intermittent for a week - so I called doc and Im booked for ultra sound this coming Friday. Not entirely certain gall bladder is the problem but symptoms seem to indicate this might be the culprit. Ive never had any symptoms of this before, and Im wondering how quickly stuff can accelerate to where I may need help for this before I have the ultra sound. The pain is mild, more like pressure, and Ive been drinking lots and lots of water and staying active which seems to help. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has been through this since Im clueless. And by the way, I am a retired nurse, and I know all about the theory, the diagnosis and the certain types of surgeries, etc., but I dont actually know anyone who has been through the process.
