Weird pain

[bulldog1973 88]

About 3 weeks ago I started having pain in my left upper abdomen, right under my ribs. I got worse over the next couple of days, to the point that I drank a bottle of Mag Citrate thinking maybe I was constipated. Pain continued to worsen, but only when I was standing. If I was sitting or lying down I had absolutely no pain. I finally gave in and went to ER. They did a CT with and without contrast and did not find anything out of the ordinary.

Over the next few days the pain was still present, but still only when standing. This went on for almost two weeks and then it was gone. I have no clue what this was, but it scared the hell out of me. I am 15 months post op, have lost 124 pounds, and have felt great throughout my post op. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this??

Get liver enzymes (LFTs) drawn to check the health of your gallbladder. If your LFTs are elevated, a gallbladder ultrasound should be done. Typical gallbladder pain is on the right side, but it is possible for referred pain to occur. If you no longer have a gallbladder get pancreatic enzymes drawn. Good luck, I hope they figure things out soon.

All of my labs were perfect, LFT was all WNL. Pain is better now, still comes and goes occasionally, but definitely not like it was. I hate to put my head in the sand and act like it will go away on its own, but that is pretty much where I am.
