Gallbladder Problem??
| Sun, 02-18-2007 - 7:12pm |
I have had lots of burning pain in the mid upper area of my abdomen with a low grade fever, bloating, and tenderness. I ended up getting admitted to the hospital and having a barium CT Scan, Ultrasound, blood tests, HIDRA scan and Endoscopy. The only thing that they have found is an inflammed gallbladder that functions at 34% (no stones). My doctor says that he doesn't want to remove my gallbladder unless it is under 30% and has sent me home with pain meds, acid reducer meds and Bentyl. I'm doing ok now but only because of all of the medication. Does anyone know if your gallbladder will improve? What is a normal function level? Any suggestions? I just don't want to have to live on meds to be able to function. Thanks!
