Gallbladder problems

**elephant** · 02-12-2010, 10:55 AM

Had a Hida scan done on my gallbladder. It is sluggish. I have been having arm muscle pain and upper abdominal pain and decreased appetite. So will see what my doctor says about the results hopefully Monday. It's always something! But I am counting my blessings!

Are the walls thickened? Any sign of infection? Any stones?

The gallbladder scan was negative, but the Hida scan showed that my gallbladder was sluggish. They injected that radioactive dye in me and took pictures for one hour and the gallbladder did not show up. Then the guy wanted to give me morphine 3 mg and I said,"NO!" So I had to wait another two hour and get more pictures taken finally they saw my gallbladder. He said it was sluggish and could not give me any more info and to call me doctor for the info. So it will probably be Monday.

Why did he want to give you morphine? Is it a painful test? Maybe your gallbladder was playing Hida Go Seek?

Hi, I don't know what to say so I am just sending a real bearhug!!

Oh, I didn't know morphine did that. Makes sense. It gives me terrible migraines, which are liver-based in me. The only time I took morphine was during a kidney stone.

He he Sangye Hida and go seek. Mmm morphine, the last time they gave me some they also gave me tylenol 3 and I had terrible nightmares. I dreamt that I was chased by metal bolt people (I think I was one too) on a metal scaffolding on a skyscraper. Everytime I woke up and went back to sleap I dreamnt the same thing. It was awful. I have never since taken tylenol 3 or morphine.

Hi, it is darkest before dawn!! This week I have been so down, not knowing what is going on in my foot. Sleeping poorly and thinking a lot. So.......
gp office just called and told they have an app with a plastic surgeon for me!! Hooray! I will finally get to know if all that callus that has been building up for a year is the cause of swelling and pain. Some days so bad I didn't feel safe driving. Time to smile moyan!
