Had gallbladder removed due to stones and have had agonising pain since. The pain is around my liver area and does not radiate through to my back. It is NOT a dull ache that comes and goes although i have had that too. I can not stand up straight when pain is bad as it hurts too much abd i can not breath. (This is now affecting my posture which inturn is affecting my body. Have recently had tendonitis in right knee and ankle/achilies) It is a deep, sharp, stabbing pain that never actually goes away. (Also sometimes accompanied by an odd and very uncomfortable popping sensation that can be felt with fingertips) Some days its mild and as long as i dont do TOO much i can carry on a relatively normal day. It switches from mild to agonising for no reason. I have monitored food/drink intake to see if its sonething im eating/drinking causing it with absolutely no pattern. I have tried many different diets to try eliminate this pain with no success. I also drink at least 4-5 litres or water a day plus 1 morning coffee, no acohol or soft drinks. I have had many blood tests, ultra sounds, xrays, ct scan, mri, endoscope, and laporoscopy. At one point i was having issues with food digestion abd would wake up choking on my dinner id eaten many hours before. The MRI showed something pulling my duodenum into an odd shape. Dr suspected scar tissue as ive had abdo surgeries ie caesarians and gastric banding. During surgery they discover (suspected scar tissue) was gone and normal duodenum shape returned. Food problems were also gone. They also discover unexplained scaring on my liver. They did biopsy n only tested it for cancer which came back clear. Since biopsy pain is worse. This pain is ONLY on my right and comes on wheather i am moving or not but much much worse if i am active. Due to this i became quite immobile and gained A LOT of weight. I decided that because im in pain anyway id push through it and make sure i did at least 30 min work outs everyday (usually do around 90 mins broken up through the day) i have been doing this for many months now and have lost NO weight, in fact i am gaining. Liver function tests are normal and no hepatitis. I have been on norspan 5mg patches for a few months now as well as endone 5mg on extremely bad days. Recently my pain has become worse. Mild pain days are gone, now every day is high pain or agonising pain. Mr dr believes (whatever my injury is) is getting worse. I was 29 when this all started and im soon to be 32.. Those tests were done in the first 8 months and none (except bloods) have been done since. They have given up looking for it and just medicate me now. I have been hospitalised a few times due to pain, fever, breathing difficulties, and severe fatigue. With no results. When this all started i was frustrated, then that turned to sadness/depression and now im just mad that nothing is being done. I did not do this to myself, i had NO problems before gallbladder was removed.
