Gallbladder interaction with inflammation, and our PMR and RA.

[Skymollie]

Hi, just want to mention that I fought with my gallbladder this week and I believe the Hospital won the lottery with my money but that's another story in America, two trips to an Emergency Room and One stay of two days to get gallstone removed and only $13,000, no insurance so they make it cheaper than what insurance companies have to pay for it. Anyway, before gallbladder out I would always have low level inflammation. I would feel it if I breathed in deeper than normal and all my chest muscles would hurt. So, gallbladder out, this pain has stopped. I'm thinking that inflammation(he said gallbladder was inflammed and had stones) was circulating always in my body and might be worth it for others suffering to have a look at the health of their gallbladders. Good luck to all and may your pain be bearable.

Glad you've had your GB sorted skymollie. The inflammation is often present with the gallstones as the build up of bile causes it, when the stones block the flow of bile. I had low level symptoms for years and finally had a cholecystectomy when symptoms and inflammation worsened.
