Should I go back to ER?? Can they do a sonogram on my gall bladder?? I think that is the problem?

I have had chronic diarrhea aprox 5-10 times a day since december. Last week Monday Night I went to ER for abdominal pain. Had CBC, X ray, and CT Scan. All normal. They could not see my appendix. I also had a clear stool sample. I do have a small 2mm cyst on my pancreas and a small cyst on my left overy. I have since then had chronic pain directly below my ribs on the right side. Occasionally there is stabbing pain. I also have had darkened urine. I have a low temp of aprox 99.5 ish rigth now. Should I go back to ER??

    What did they do to treat the cysts on your pancreas and ovary? If they started you on some new medications it could be that you are negatively reacting to them, but in any case at least calling your doctor and telling him/her what is going on would be a good idea. However, if the pain is severe enough for you to question going back into the ER I would suggest that you play on the safe side and go see a doctor (preferably the one who saw you the first time).

    If you have a cyst on your pancreas, it's quite possible you have a gallstone stuck in your common bile duct. You need a Hida Scan or a sonogram and an evaluation by a qualified MD. Did they test your pancreatic enzymes (amylase, etc)? It's possible at this point you're starting to develop pancreatitis which can become quite painful if left untreated. I would definitely go back to the ER, preferably a different hospital at this point - a teaching hospital if there's one in your area.

    First of all, permit me say this, coming from a nurse (as good as anyone who had Roux-en-Y gastric skip a couple of years in the past): surgeons is not going to take away a healthful organ, simply in case it would supply you a concern at some point. I mainly requested my health practitioner approximately this earlier than he did my surgical procedure and he stated if my gall bladder seemed healthful and was once no longer giving me any disorders, it might be left in. I'm approximately eight years out from surgical procedure and feature no longer had any disorders with my gall bladder. Your gall bladder and the fluids it produces does have a position on your frame and individually, I might no longer wish a health practitioner yanking out flawlessly well organs as an issue of direction. Now, as on your disorders: alas, you relatively are being jerked round. First of all, your health practitioner will have to no longer be sending you to the ER until your concern is an emergency! (Of direction, if you're in severe agony, that's an emergency and they're going to do what they are able to to regard the agony, no longer always the intent of the agony.) They aren't there to diagnose and deal with this continual concern, that's why they maintain sending you again to the health practitioner. And, in case your health practitioner most effective does bariatric surgical procedure, he will have to be sending you to a ordinary health practitioner. Barring that, you'll have a predominant care general practitioner who will take an curiosity in you as a complete individual, no longer simply as bits and portions. You desire a general practitioner who will appear at you no longer simply as a viable surgical procedure candidate. There are medicines that may support, and it feels like all people is watching for gallstones, which you can also no longer have. It would be "sludge" otherwise you would have an irritation or illness in there, and you wish to have anyone who will appear at the entire portions of know-how and make a analysis then deal with you competently. So, here's my recommendation: gather up the entire experiment outcome and labs you have got had performed, and discover a well inner remedy document who will make an effort to hear you, who will do an intensive historical past and bodily on you and paintings on diagnosing and treating this concern. No one right here can do this, however you wish to have anyone who will appear in any respect of this and compare it effectively. Good success and desire this will get resolved quickly.
