Gallbladder :: Living With 23 Mm Gallstone For 3 Years
I've been having a 23 mm stone at the outlet of my GB for 3 years now, and first I thought I could cope with it by sitting on a low fat diet, drinking herbal teas (quebra pedra) etc., but lately the pain flare ups have increased in frequency from less than once a month to every 3 days and I've decided to go for an operation on GB removal, which is planned within the next couple of months.
But I am still hesitant for several reasons:
1. Carelessness of the doctors - the impression is that they don't want to know anything about your problem (no MRI, no ultrasound - nothing) just cut your GB out.
2. After-effects - infection, hernia*), damage to other organs.
3. I think that if it's possible to live without operation - it's best not to have it.
So to cut the long story short - I wonder if there are people on this forum or your friends who have been living with GB stones for a really long time (like 10 years or more) and if you have - how do you cope?

Nausea :: Possibly Gallstone Or Gerd?
So I just got over mono recently, but for about the last 3 to 4 months I've been having severe nausea and stomach aches. Originally I was told it was caused by the mono, which since has been ruled out. The pain and nausea has only been getting worse. The nausea is the worst, as it occurs nearly all day and night. It gets horrible when I try to eat. It's gotten to the point that I can't drink a sip of water or eat a cracker without feeling really ill. I also had some really bad chest pains recently. They spread to my back and oddly my throat. It hurt bad to take a deep breath in, and worse to swallow. I couldn't eat that day. Since then it's gotten better. My mother (retired nurse) says she thinks it may be either GERD or a gallstone. I was thinking it could be GERD but I don't seem to have much heartburn(none really) I do have an appointment with a GI Dr but it's not until mid September and I'm not sure how well I can make it. Any idea what it could be? Could this be more of a gallbladder issue? Also, I have been mainly constipated but every couple days I'll have diarrhea. I've tried taking Miralax and tums, both to no avail. Pepto Bismol also hasn't helped any. It gets really bad in the morning as well, which greatly affects my working ability.

I have been diagnosed with multiple polyps in my gallbladder recently. They are all small except one with less than 5mm. I have a symptom recently with pain. My doctor has suggested to remove my gallbladder. But I am wondering if there are any surgery or technique that can take out the polyps without removing the gallbladder or get the polyps for biopsy test to see it is malignant? I really hope to keep my gallbladder as it is a part of body that god created.

View 2 RepliesSTD :: Clitoral Hood Discomfort
I'm 16, and I've never been to the gynocologist before, so I don't know if this is normal. Ever since I can remember, when I pull back my hood, my clitoris hurts, and the tissue on the innermost part seems red and irritated. If I push on it when the hood isn't pulled back, it doesn't hurt as long as I don't put too much pressure on it. Is this normal?
View 4 RepliesEye :: Discomfort After Cataract Surgery
I had cataract surgery five days ago. On taking the dressing off the next day my vision was brilliant and no discomfort.
On the morning of the third day (Saturday) it felt as if I had something in the outside corner of my eye and that the clarity of vision was somewhat less. As it didn't wear off I called the out of hours ophthalmic nurse. She first asked me to check for an eyelash or anything in the eye. Her second suggestion was that I could have a sensitivity to the cheapo NHS eye drops with preservative in them.
We agreed to leave the situation until after applying the next eye drops. Things were no better when she called me back. She offered to get the on call eye doctor to see me at the hospital.
I did not feel that it was urgent enough for that and that I would leave it until today ( Monday)
The discomfort worsened over night and I called the daytime contact number. They took my details and will pass them on to the eye clinic and someone will call me back...but it might not be today.
The feeling is rather like when many years ago I wore contact lenses and I put one in wrongly.
Has any other reader had the same sensation?

View 7 RepliesCorneal Abrasion - Discomfort And Something Sliding In My Eye
Eight weeks ago on a trip to the US I contrived to launch a bottle of shower gel into my right eye. The next day I experienced photophobia, sharp pains, and discomfort when moving the eye around and reading things up close. A US ophthalmologist diagnosed a corneal abrasion at the six o'clock of my eye (below the iris) and prescribed antibiotic ointment for 3 days, sure I would be 100% by then. Indeed the photophobia and sharp pain cleared up quickly but the discomfort did not.
The sharp pain returned to a lesser extent three weeks after the accident so I saw a local (Singaporean) ophthalmologist. With her microscope she discovered that the initial abrasion had healed but was not securely attached from dryness, and prescribed Optive drops and Vidisic gel, which I continue to use today. Two days later my cornea looked okay under the microscope and within a week the sharp pain had gone. Unfortunately the discomfort has never gone away, and seems to have stayed at the same level since the accident. (five weeks from the beginning of lubrication treatment)
My vision remains 20/20 in both eyes, but I feel I no longer see objects up close (when reading etc.) as well or effortlessly as I used to. There is a sense of discomfort, almost like a sliding of something in the eye, when moving the right eye around and "focusing" on distant objects. Moving the eye too fast will actually cause a twinge of pain. My ophthalmologist doesn't see anything wrong with the eye and suggested that I was experiencing dry eye due to the cornea no longer being as smooth as before.
I have read up on abrasions, erosions and dry eye. Presumably I came close to experiencing an erosion just before I started the lubrication regimen. I haven't been able to find much information on dry eye after corneal abrasions. Obviously my condition is bearable but I do hope that is temporary, perhaps with some deep layer of the cornea still healing.
