Hi Lynn :-)
Thank You so much for responding to my post concerning the problems I am having. Had the ct scan done this past Wednesday. Showed everything normal. Dr did say that the u/s that I had the day before did show some possible pancreatitis. Anyway, I have to call on Monday to see about getting an appointment out in town with a GI specialist to see about having an ERCP done. To answer your questions to my post: stools are somewhat bulky with lots of mucous & very foul smelling. Also, appears to be bloody at times (very rusty colored). I have constant pain right at the base of my ribs right in the center that I have had since March time frame that has been gradually getting worse since then. Had my gallbladder taken out in April. I do have GERD & a hiatal hernia. Every time I eat, I am usually doubled over in pain within 30 minutes after eating. If I eat any dairy products, etc, I end up vomitting violently. I am on Robinul every 6 hours & darvacet for pain every 4 hours, which is helping some. What does this sound like to you? Several people/drs think it could be a blockage of the common bile duct, but my blood work keeps coming back normal. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for being here for me.
HUGS,
