A Slow Week

[didntrunthat]

I ran w7r2 this morning so a run behind after this week but getting there. I'm still waiting on a scan for my gallbladder and I hope it's soon because it's getting a lot more uncomfortable and I've had some quite painful days where I've put off running. I now have my father and brother in law visiting so time is very tight! Maybe not a bad thing though because running itself is never too bad, but the pain kicks in on the cool down walk. I read a bit about running and gallbladder area pain and some people suggest it's to do with how your breathing changes after you run....dunno about that though.

I'm no expert but your gallbladder is just under your diaphragm so maybe the heavy breathing during exercise and recovery 'jolts' it around a bit and dislodges the stones so that they lodge in your bile duct? Thats when you get the pain which lasts until the stone is passed. Never had that but I believe it's excruciating

I had my Gallbladder removed around 4 yrs ago, unusual for a man as it more affects women so I am told, Gall bladder was full of stones. Pain was probably as bad as it gets in the end.

You cannot pass a Gall stone in a good way, correct they can enter your pancreas which is not a good thing, the only remedy for Gall stones is keyhole surgery to remove the Gall bladder.

I really feel for you

Initial symptoms were like indigestion or pressure under the middle sternum, paracetamol sorted that no problem, as the pain got worse waiting for the operation I was on 30/500 codeine.

Since it was removed I have had no issues at all.

Hope it all goes well for you .... Get it removed and you will be fine
