Diagnosed with gallstones?!
Question: Diagnosed with gallstones!?
I am 3 months pregnant!. I was diagnosed with gallstones before I found out I was pregnant!. Needless to say that nothing can be done until the baby is born!.
My questions is this: I have pain on my right side which my doctor said it was related to the stones!. For the past month, I have been feeling it on my left side!. The pain does not go from one side to the other; it is really 2 separate pains!. It also feels exactly the same!. A nurse told me it could be differed pain but I am not convinced!. We recently found out that my mother's sister, brother and mother have cancer so this is a little bothering!. I can help but wonder!. I know I am limited in the tests they can do while I am pregnant!.
Can anyone help me!. It is located on the left side so around the stomach area, it feels the same as my gallbladder pain!. The 2 pains do not occur at the same time!. They alternate!. I know stomach pain is usually felt in the middle of the abdomen!. Also, I have a full abdominal ultrasound in June which only revealed gallstones!.

Hi, I had Gallstones when my youngest was 8 months old, like you it started with just the right side pain, sometimes also in my right shoulder!. About 3 months after I was diagnosed I had a really bad attack and felt it in my left side!. Doctors swore blind it was my normal problem but i knew it was different!. It turned out I had developed Gallstone Pancreatitis, which a not uncommon complication caused by a stone getting lodged in the bile duct!. Maybe that is your problem as well, as it comes and goes maybe you are naturally passing stones through the duct causing a little pain on the way out, which is why nothing else would show!. hope this helps :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
