what is this pain?

**patevans** · 16-03-2010, 09:16 PM

If those pains are similar to labour I will never have kids

seriously though I'm too scared to have an operation

lol tbh labour pains weren't that bad once the baby is there u forget about the pain ( just only had one due to personal reasons) , but gallstone pain however dont think i will ever forget, all i can say is id give birth 1000 times over or more never to go though it again....

just seen this i was wondering how scan went -sorry you have them but it did sound like it ,the pain is like nothing else -even labour

its the opposite with me the consultant wants me operated on and i dont

hope you dont have any more attacks now .if i had them regular id be at the hospital like a shot

If the pains do come on again I will go straight to the hospital!! Do they shrink over time or will they just stay there now?

That's why I was asking why no op now, as you'll have to have one eventually & the longer you leave it the more there are likely to be to remove IYSWIM!

Told you so!!!!
Ooooh,you poor love.
I have been struggling with gallstones for months as they just kept sending me home with codeine.
I had my op booked for last Monday ,all minded children farmed out,you know the score!
They cancelled it at the last minute!!!!!!
I made up my mind that enough was enough as I was so scared and feeling very ill!!!
On Sunday night I ate some cheesy mash and 2 creme eggs and went to bed.
Bobs your uncle 2 hrs later I was on the floor, by the time the ambulance came I had nearly blacked out!
I had my op on Tuesday. I survived Emma and you will too.
Trust me Emma, I am the biggest baby ever and a really rubbish patient. If I can do it,then you can too!!!
Do not let them mess you around, DO NOT take no for an answer!!!
I am sitting typing this wanting to give you a big hug. I know that pain and I know your fear. Mine had been left for so long the gallbladder was in a bad way and I too had loads of stones.
Insist that they sort you out.
Sending you sooo much love and hugsxxxxx
Louise.

I am such a baby and would feel exactly like you Emma

When i was diagnosed with pneumonia i made hubs come home from work just to take to the hospital for a xray

It is important you go and get them out, easy for me to say i know, they are never gonna go away

Take care x

**patevans** · 17-03-2010, 09:08 PM

How long would I need off work?

**zillervalley** · 17-03-2010, 09:36 PM

Just seen this , hope you get yourself sorted, dont be scared of an operation you will be fine

**Twinkles** · 17-03-2010, 10:14 PM

I'm scared of ops too Emma but I had mine out about 9/10 years ago.

They couldn't do the keyhole bit for me cos it was a bit complicated.

Have you researched the condition. I wasn't going to have the op until I read lots about it and decided for long term health it was far better to have the gallbladder removed.

Had mine done Keyhole Surgery in one day and out the next, off work 2 weeks . No probs

Let me tell you labour pains are a breeze compared to the pain from Gallstones, I had 13 removed, they gave me them in a little tub, Why Im not sure

**patevans** · 18-03-2010, 08:58 AM

2 weeks off

maybe i'll wait a while before thinking about having them out

**solly** · 18-03-2010, 09:07 AM

I didnt have as many but they operated whilst my gallbladder was inflamed and they should not have done which caused a few complications. The surgeon told me off but i said how was i supposed to know it is inflamed if i had no pain for the 2 weeks previous.
I had a week off but should of taken 2-3 as i was in agony and had a couple of infections.

I am glad i have had them out as never want to have that pain again
