Hi all, haven't posted for a long time. I have been awful recently as well as fibro I had my gall bladder removed in nov 2014.

I am still having those horrendous bpains you get with gall stones, but No gall bladder, went to docs to find out why.

Got the usual response...don't know!!! I've had usual tests and now have got an appt for 26th march for an endoscopy. Consultant has said my liver is fatty and also scarred and inflamed. God knows what they will find.

Just wanted to share this to see if anyone else has had these symptoms.

Hope I get some replies, take care all. X

Hi dragonfly45

I am so sorry to read of the awful time that you are still having and I genuinely hope that you can find the answers that you so desperately desire and deserve. I have not endured anything of this nature, but I wanted to sincerely wish you all the best of luck and I hope that you start to feel better soon.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken

Hi Dragonfly,

I just had to reply to your post when I read it, as you sound like my shadow!

I too have had my gallbladder removed last year terrible pains I thought I was having a heart attack! I do also have a non alcoholic fatty liver. No reason for it they don't know why I just do.

I never drink alcohol now, too scared. The only difference with us is I don't have those horrific pains from before I had my gallbladder removed. About 3 months after it was removed now and again I would experience a small amount of pain but that was all.

Hope that puts your mind at ease you are not alone.

I do also suffer from Fibromyalgia all 18 points are now affected and 3 weeks ago I was asked to leave my job as I was too much of a risk with the steps into the building, which should be pulled down as its so old.

So now I'm on the strap heap, very depressed, having my 4th colonoscopy on Tuesday as I also suffer from Ulcerative Colitis.

So I hope you have a better weekend, and the sun pops out for a while.

Do you work?

Kind hugs Lucy x

Hi Lucy, thanks for your kind words. Sounds like you're having a rough time at the moment. I'm really sorry how poorly you have been treated at work, surely they can't do that, can you not go to a tribunal.

I did work but gave up 3 years ago, I was a P.C.S.O.for the police so was on foot patrol, for 9-10 hours walking a day and just couldn't do it anymore as the pain started getting worse. Feel quite down some days, especially with this other pain.

Hope you're weekend hasn't been too bad.

Hugs, Sue x

Hi sorry to hear your having problems, I have been having gall bladder

problems for a while now, had scans but found nothing. I am having an

endoscopy in a weeks time to see what it might be.

But my mum had her gall bladder removed because of stones last year

and she still has the same pain as before, she was told that it is quite normal but should eventually settle down.

I hope you get things sorted soon
