Gallbladder pain symptoms ?

I called the surgeons office and talked to the on call doctor. Sounds like it might be my gallbladder.

So I have a mcdonalds cheese burger with 1/2 bun removed and about 6 culvers onion rings. Within minutes I'm having pretty serious stomach discomfort, almost as bad as it hurt when needed to have my appendix out.  I dont thin it's gas and is under my ribs, both sides, and down my back.  Taking a little water almost makes it worse. It began about 7 and I fell asleep around 9 and woke up at 1030 with it hurting pretty bad so I called the clinic.

What did your gallbladder pain feel like, does it seem like that's whats going on with me?  Seriously I will never eat anything like that again, it sucks big time!

 Mine felt like a hear attack... well, it was as painful I imagine! It same on slowly and felt as if my diaphram was pinched. It was under my ribs and in my back and was just barely tolerable. I tried keeping my arms up to see if it would let up but it didn't. It's a horrible pain. For me, it subsided after about 10-15 minutes. Those attacks are the worst.

I had very similar symptoms and mine ended up being ulcers in my intestine right below my pouch.

I fit the gallbladder symptoms but I had no gallbladder distention. But it felt like gas too. But even drinking water hurt. I can now tell you exactly where those ulcers are. (I have two.) I'd definitely bring that up to your surgeon if you have an ultrasound that shows little or no gall bladder distention. I had to have an upper endoscopy to find them.

I had never been in so much pain in my life. But I would have sworn I had gallbladder issues given my symptoms.

I hope you get a speedy resolution!
