At a scheduled health check my bloods showed elevated liver enzymes to a worring level according to the GP. At this point I felt fine and was ref for an ultra sounded. This was about 6 weeks ago. Two weeks ago I started to feel odd, which has got worse day by day. started with mild bloating and nausea (not vomit) and I now have discomfort on the right side and just below my breast bone. I now have flu symptoms and my legs and arms feel weak.

I have also lost 5lb ib two weeks, possibly because I am eating less

The ultra sound was of limited use due to the amount of gas in my belly. But it did so an enlarged galllader which was half full of sludge and mile bile ducts were dilated the CBD to a big margin, no sign of blockage - but I am told with gas this can be an issue.

The scan did said my pancreas was obscured which is a worry but Dr said this may be due to gas or a grwoth!!

Thus I have an urgent MRI on Tuesday. With a list of symptoms to go directly to A&E with.

Dr said it could be anything from gallstones to a growth on my pancreas he seemed concerned because the bile ducts are dilated with no sign of a gallstone and the fact I am feel ill and getting worse. Sayingit could be pancreatic issues which on reading up is a major concern with the symptons.

Just wondering for those who have had gallstone issues, so the above symptoms sounds like your attacks?

Yes your symptoms sound very similar to yours. Mine did show gall stones but wasn’t inflamed. Don’t worry! Advice I have been given drink plenty of water and cut down on high fat foods. My symptoms only kick off now after eating lots of fat and don’t drink any fizzy pop either.

I had agonising pains around my bra band area and specifically the right hand side. Crawling round on the floor sobbing level pain. I eat a low fat diet now to manage it.

Sorry to hear that. That sounds absalouty terrible. I guess I'm lucky not to have pain.
