Hi guys and gals,
I posted another thread that I was getting an ultrasound to check gall bladder. Anyway, I've been noticing what feels like a lump under right rib cage (not a physical lump, more a sensation of such - tightness and discomfort but not pain). Anyway, I was wondering in between bouts of pain, does anyone else with diagnosed gall bladder issues experience this lump feeling? It's like a tightness there that shouldn't be there. Last night I thought I was leaning on a tennis ball. I didn't have the pain I'd been getting the past few weeks and my diarrhea has settle down.
At this stage I'm convinced it's my gall bladder based on all the associated symptoms, but wondering if it's inflamed or blocked. It feels almost muscular, but I am 99% sure it's not a muscle issue. I don't have insane pain at the moment, but have had a couple of rough weeks and several months back had what I would now deem gall bladder attacks - although some figured it was muscular skeletal, others thought it was my heart (knew it wasn't).
The closest I recall having these sensations of weird fullness and stuff anywhere in my abdomen was when I was pregnant and when I had ovarian cancer - I have no ovary on the right side anymore, so that pretty much cancels that out. I just hope they find something on the ultrasound tomorrow because if they don't, I imagine this sets in motion the highly cryptic episodes of seeing specialists and doing tests through gastroenterologists and yielding nothing until the critical moment when suddenly they find an issue in the ER - been there, done that - have the tour jacket...I'm sure some can relate to that! Gastroenterology seems to often be a bumbling field of possibilities and often we don't always get the answers. Neurology, while also complex seems to be way more straight forward!
