For the last 3 xmas's ive being plagued with horrendous upper right abdomen pain. Last year I was in agony, I literally had to hobble to the pub 200 meteres away. I felt shit. I get it every birthday and every xmas so fairly sure its when I eat foods that are rich and high in fat.
Last year I got to the doctor, I cant remember the ins and outs as was in agony but he said he thought was probably a stone and booked me for a scan 2 weeks later by then pain had gone. Scan showed no stone and no anything! However in the 2 weeks waiting for the scan I woke one night in absolute agony. I had chosen to sleep on the sofa so as not to disturb DH and I was writhing in agony, I was crying I was in so much pain and I had a fever of 39 (sensibly Id taken the thermometer with me!) Unfortunatley DH being two floors up couldnt hear me calling for him and I couldnt move off the sofa. If I couldve moved then I wouldve rung a bloody ambulance I was in that much pain.
When this first started several years ago a doc did ask if it was trapped wind however Ive had this before (had two c-sections!) and know what it feels like and I can always shift trapped wind with Andrews salts and peppermint tea so it def wasnt that. I also could barely eat a thing without intense pain in my upper stomach and upper back.
Sorry this is an essay!!! I cannot go through another year like last year, we have family coming and I want to enjoy it! What do you guys suggest? Anyone been through similar??
