Sorry Marie, I’ve had my gallbladder removed,it was years before theRD was diagnosed it was a great relief as the pain was bad .it was done in day surgery..hope you get sorted soon a was waiting about 6 months.regards Mike

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.

It never rains..... poor you. You’ll feel so much better when it’s gone. Hope it happens soon .

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. 💜💜💜

My eldest son had this op a couple of years ago, he was in so much pain with it. What a difference the op make. Good luck, hope it's soon. X

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?

[Eiram50 in reply to Cheylann]

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

[Cheylann in reply to Eiram50]

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.

[Eiram50 in reply to Cheylann]

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