Please sustain, I am have Stomach Problems?
On Monday I was experiencing really bad lower right rib pains (felt as if someone broke my rib). I tried to go to the gym thinking it be a pulled muscle. It didn't work. The pain worsen through the night. My stepmother assumed it could have be my gall bladder and gave m a gas pill telling me it would cart the pressure off .. it didn't work... Tuesday I went to the Dr and they did blood work and scheduled me for a ultra nouns on my stomach for Thursday. After I eat the pain worsens and also I am having a really bleak shortness of breathe (i feel like i am going to have a asthma attack). The stomach-ache worsen now giving me back pain and my stomach is huge (looks resembling I am five months pregnant) I went for my ultra sound and they said that everything looked fine and that i didn't not have gallstones. The requested I run to the ER but don't want to sit there to have them give me pills and transport me on my way.. I don't know what to do?
Best Answer: I am so sorry for your pain, and I think I own a good idea what you must be going through, because almost the exact same thing happen to me 2 weeks ago. The pain woke me up in the middle of the night, and it feel like a gnawing, constant, extremely intense pain right below my right breast, below my rib cage. As the hours dragged on, it eventually spread around my right side rib cage to the middle of my back and also directly surrounded by the middle of my chest, below my sternum. I felt like someone had run a sword through my chest. It be hard to breathe, and I was nauseous and throwing up. I couldn't even move, and I ws pretty sure I be going to die. I had never felt a pain so awful within my entire life, and I've given birth naturally, and had a compound fracture of my leg (where the bone tor through the skin) that I thought be a sprain until I took my pants off. This was worse than any agony I've ever felt. My boyfriend woke up and took me immediately to the emergency room, where I be given every test they probably had: blood tests, enzyme test, CT scan, had a camera put down my throat, several ultrasounds, etc.I did have gall stones, but they weren't doing any spoil, and weren't causing my pain.(Mine are very colossal, too big to fit down the bile duct to cause pain. Keep in mind, though, that stones below 1 cm are hard to see on an ultrasound, and they are about the right size to fit down the duct and cause pain) It took 4 shots of morphine to bring my agony level from a 10 to a 3. They couldn't give me any more morphine, so they gave me a shot of promethazine for the nausea, which help sedate me. After all of that, it turns out I have biliary colic, which is a spasming of the bile duct. Biliary colic won't show up on any imaging theory test, and I was so drugged I forget how they came to that conclusion, but that was my diagnosis. Here's how they treated it: I have no food or drink besides water for 2 days, to give the bile duct a rest. The bile duct only become active if there is food in your system to stimulate it. I also have percocet for the pain, and more promethazine (in pill form) for the nausea. After the fast, I was allowed clear, non-fat fluids, close to broth, jello, and apple juice for 2 more days. Then, I was allowed applesauce, over-cooked white rice, and other very soft, non-fat foods for a few days. I be then allowed to start introducng regular, very low fat, and unseasoned items fund into my diet. I did fine until I had 3 spoonfuls of macaroni and cheese, and I woke up in the same discomfort again, believing I was about to die. Thank god I still had some percocet not here over. Now, I'm just sticking to the bland and low fat (about 10 grams of fat a day) diet that be recommended to me. I have an appointment with a surgeon in a couple of weeks, but my GP already told me he be doubtful anything would be done. Do yourself a favor and mention biliary colic to your doctor. It may be what you have. If they can't do anything for it, at least you will have some headache medication in case this happens again. Also try the low curvy, bland diet for a while to give your bile duct a rest. It can't hurt you. I honestly wish you the best of luck in finding out what's cause your pain. I am so sorry that you are going through whatever is hurting you, and I truly hope you feel better soon.
