Gallbladder pain?

So the last few days I have had some pain right at the bottom of my rib on the right side.  It goes over to my mid stomach.  Kind of feels like heartburn.  But the only time I have ever had heartburn was while pregnant.

Is this gallbladder stuff??  I am taking Actigall (well the generic) twice a day.

The pain comes when I eat.  But it isnt horrible....yet!  I really hope I won't need another surgery.  I really really can't take the time off from work! LOL  Jerk gallbladder

It could be gallbladder or it could be an ulcer.  You will have to get an ultrasound to get a definitive answer.  Call your doctor if it persists.  It's inconvenient to take off work, but if you have to have it dealt with.  I had gallbladder surgery on a Thursday and was back to work by Monday.

I have an email into my surgeon' office to see what I need to do next.

My doc had me do a weird type of test, although it might be hard for you to do.  He had me eat something deep fried.  If I had pain within 10 minutes of eating it he bet it was my gallbladder.  If I had pain everytime I ate and it was particularly worse after the deep fried food, it was most likely gallbladder.  

However before I could do the test I had a bowl of cereal, the pain hit me and I passed out.  Woke up to my husband saying he was going to take me to the hospital.  Had emergency gallbladder removal within 4 hours.  

If you can get in and have it checked out before the intense pain comes on, you will be grateful.  Its REALLY not fun.

BTW, not recommending you go off diet, just telling you what my doctor said.  You may already have noticed if the pain is worse or better with high fat foods.  

Yeah my total fat intake yesterday was like 12....soooo its NOT high fat foods that are doing it!  This afternoon water was causing me pain!  But no pain with my lunch....very strange!

Nurse practitioner wants to see me tomorrow, she just hasnt gotten back to me with a time yet.
