They said maximum 12 week list but gp said because it’s so bad, he thinks it will be done sooner. However, I’m not sure gp has a lot of day in it so, here’s hoping!

Thanks mike.

Easy op. You'll feel fab after it. Avoid any foods with fat in them until the op and you should stay pain free.

I had my gb removed after years of being told my pain was due to my back condition. Best thing ever as pain reduced by at least 50% and now I know that pain is due to back. No experience of other problem tho. All the best. Lets presume its upwards and onwards for you now you have diagnosis. I do agree with the ... oh pooo ... statement tho. X

Had my gall bladder removed last year. Only one night of pain in hospital, then following morning had drain tube removed. My daughter who was with me said it was like garden hose pipe. Immediately it was out all the pain went. First couple of days uncomfortable but after that absolutely back to normal. By the way I live in Spain and understand in UK the drains are much thinner. You will be fine and so pleased when it's over. Good luck. 💜💜💜

I too have cysts on kidney which cause no symptoms and we're discovered when I had a scan for gall bladder pain. Appears I have gall sludge but no stones causing my pain. They are leavin both conditions. I never knew that I had these conditions due to RA as your post implies. If it is that is scary. How do u know that RA caused these conditions?

Sorry, I haven’t been clear. It’s due to the medications taken for RA, at least that’s what the doctor suggested.

Well as I haven't taken any medication for my arthritis yet I wonder what caused mine. I think the docs don't always know themselves.

Possibly. Equally, I think sometimes, too much can be attributed to our condition and the meds? X
