Stomach spasms turned out to be an ulcer

  • Popular Post

A couple of days ago, I posted about the horrible pain I was dealing with. I thought I was having stomach spasms. Well the pain got so bad today along with the vomiting, that I just couldn't even take it anymore. So I decided to take a trip to the emergency room. They did a CT scan and ultrasound, they saw that my gall bladder was distended and that I had an ulcer where my small intestine and new stomach connected. They decided to do an endoscopy and found that I had a 2 inch ulcer and admitted me to the hospital to start immediate treatment. My advice is if you feel like something isn't right within your body, get some medical help as soon as possible...Don't procrastinate

Yes, i'm still in the hospital. Hopefully I will be able to go have tomorrow. Still been having some major pain issues. The vomiting has finally eased up thankfully tough. It's a slow road to recovery, but I intend to get there and never up give up on myself
Hoping you are at home and feeling better.

I'm so sorry that you had this bump in the road. Thank you for sharing and encouraging the rest of us to seek help if we experience pain or sense something is wrong. How are you feeling now?

From another driving on a bumpy road, Stay Strong, Stay Committed and do believe in YOU! Don't know when, not sure how, But YOU and ME, WE WILL MAKE IT THROUGH!?

Thank you. I am still in pain off and on and the medicines aren't helping much. Hopefully I will be able to get some answers and relief when I go to the gastroenterologist tomorrow

I'm feeling a lot better. My apology for such a late reply
I am glad you are okay. I was worried but did not want to look like a stalker. Happy to read you are feeling a lot better.

Thank you so much. Your concern means more than you can imagine to me!!! Sending you hugs of gratitude [emoji847]

As a recovered post-surgical ulcer patient to you, I hope you're feeling better. I assume you're on Carafate? I was on it for about 12 weeks and it eventually helped me feel so much better. I have an extra bottle of it.... just in case something starts to feel off. lol.
