Hi Dee
Hope your getting plenty of rest. The good thing about the tests are the process of elimination at least you and your doc will know what the Wegs is doing when all the results come back. Hope its all good news. Thinking of you

Dee, that sure sounds like gallbladder and/or liver pain. Did they do a CT to rule out more clots? You can still get them if you're on warfarin, especially when you're first taking it-- staying in range is harder. I hope they figure it out soon!

Sangye I agree with you as i told her that sometime when i cough i am bringing up clear bile which like you say could be more gallbladder but then think were the pain is and the swelling could be liver too
I have had trouble with liver once before in early days before dxt thats why I asked if they could check out
its harder to get a ct done here usually only when you have been admitted to hosp hence ulta sound first
she said if the cough and or pain gets worse or coughing up any thing other than clear stuff to get straight intouch
thanks for your concern some days i think what else since jan its been one thing after another but if things settle thats ok or they do tests are there alright
then i can move alittle forward and deal with the what next
i was impressed with myself yesterday as I felt i was more in control with what I wanted them to do and was able to tell them when i normally take what they say as gospel and dont usally question it but as you have said before we have to be in control as sometime knowlege on a doctor part can spell disater , i intent to be much mors active un my treatment from now on
thanks gain DEE x

If you're bringing up bile with coughing then your cough could be caused by acid reflux. You could definitely have liver and/or gallbladder problems on top of it, so I'm glad you're getting it checked out.

Dee, I agree with Sangye...sound like upset stomach ( GERD). My pain on my left side lower left lobe is gone...once I got the gallbladder out...I feel better.
