Looking for people's experiences with gallstones.
A routine blood test showed I had elevated liver enzymes so ref for an ultrasound. At the time I was ref for the ultrasound I was fine.
But a week before the ultra sound I began to get mild discomfort on the right side just below the rib, along with horrendous nausea and bloating. Along with feeling like I have a cold or flu aches, muzzy head etc.
Ultrasound was inconclusive due to the amount of gas but did highlight a dilated bile duct, but no blockage seen. And an enlarged gallbladder with some stones and half full sludge.
Ref for MRI.
Dr said need clear image worried and asked for it to be made urgent. Did say could be tumor because no stone visible in duct on ultra sound. This has scared me but also said just as likely gallstones.
Since then the symptoms above have got worse but still no pain just rising discomfort on right belly and just bellow breast bone. I've lost about half a stone in two weeks. As I feel so ill. also discomfort on left side in very specific point almost in groin
Has anyone had a blocked bile duct with similar symptoms? I am so worried.
