So I had some kind of insane pain attack the night before last, posted here at the time -

Much consensus that it sounded like gallbladder pain but some sympathising with trapped wind (burps). Booked in for colonoscopy in two weeks & the nurse seemed to think the attack sounded gallbladder related too.

Today, still got a bad stomach - diarrhea & burps & discomfort around my diaphragm. Scared to eat (low-fat Greek yoghurt & stewed apricots only yesterday) & trying a dry muffin now. No nausea or anything, everything going down. But I've still got the gripping pain in the middle/upper back, beneath by bra strap & above the bottom of my ribs. It feels like a hand around my spine.

Does this sound right for gallbladder issues? Should I be pushing in the meantime for that to be looked at?

@bobbykirby

It's really depressing isn't it. I'm in such a state about my pain & problems are linked to my pancreas & it being cancer rather than just gallstones. Just checked my blood tests to see if the amylase has been done & it hasn't, though C19-9 is clear.

Actually just enquired about a private ct scan to look at my pancreas, not that I can afford it. Just wish the sonographer could have been more definitive about anything else she saw rather than just 'nothing big that I can see' & a week wait for the results is a looooong time for someone with health anxiety
