I honestly felt like i was dying!!!

Ok...before i had surgery i had this same pain maybe once...but since having it done, ive had it almost 3 times..the last 2 times were only a couple days apart

The other night, me and my cousin had went out to eat, i didnt over eat or anything like that. Well we finished, went looking around at different stores and then my stomach started feeling really weird and knotting up. We went back to my car, and i had to put my seat back because the pain kept getting worse. I was laying down and it felt just like my upper stomach was in a knot and someone was pulling it on both ends as hard as they could. I felt like i was dying. I made her drive home but after about 20-30 min. it went away and i was fine.

Last night, around 9:45 i started feeling weird again. i went to the bathroom and by the time i was out, i was doubled over in pain again. I went and laid down and it was that same pain again. It was horrible. No position would work, i jus had to lay there praying it would stop. And again, after about 20-30 min. it stopped.

I was talking to the ladies at work today and they mentioned it might gas. That is some crazy gas if thats the case. I go the doctor tomorrow and im going to ask him. Id rather go through surgery 10 times than have that pain again.

Anyone had the same problem????

Well i dont have any kids so maybe it wont be as bad? i havent had any pain since monday night so we'll see when i go to the dr. today.

thanks for all the tips/advice

My gall bladder pain was on the right, in the middle, in my back, in my front, everywhere LOL. This last attack was "over" in a few hours but the pain did not go away for days, and I needed meds to help me survive those days!!! So I decided enough of that non-sense (I was pretty much wanting to keep my gall bladder and just try naturally cleansing and stuff like that, but I am DONE!)

Good luck today with your appt. Candi.

UPDATE!!! so, i had my ultrasound and it is GALL STONES...they wanna take out my gall bladder sometime next month! thanks for all the advice guys!!

sounds like gall bladderto me, by the time I finally had my gall bladder removed I was living on clear broth - it seemed to be the only thing that didn't give me pain. Fortunately your gall bladder is something that once it is out you will be a happy camper.
