Dull ache and not sure if I should continue?

I had my gallbladder out 3 years ago.

Started mounjaro 8 weeks ago and have had great results.

I started to get a dull ache a few weeks ago, first on my right hand side, about an inch below where my ribs end.

It is the gallbladder area and I know MJ can cause issues with a GB but I don't have one.

But the last few days I've had the same ache on the left had side too.

It's not painful
It's just a very dull ache that lasts for maybe 20 mins.

I didn't plan on staying on MJ for long as I didn't have that much left to lose.

But I still have 1 x 5mg pen left, unopened.

I can't contact my supplier as they said because I have had my gallbladder out I am excluded from their prescribing entitlement (thwy contacted my GP) and thwy told.me to bin the pen!

But lots of other suppliers allow you to use MJ after gallbladder removal.

I'm unsure what to do.

I don't have very much left to lose till my target, but £153 is alot to me! And to just throw it away seems so wasteful.

But I'm also worries about what the ache is?!

Unfortunately the only options are:

▪︎Stop using MJ or...

▪︎Contact GP or contact other pharmacies that you know prescribe MJ with no gallbladder and ask them for advice (perhaps as a potential customer since you may need to start using them in the future if they accept you), or...

▪︎Continue to use it at your own risk.

I'd try the second option first.

You can get a (paid for) consultation with a prescriber at Oushk who are pretty flexible and seem very helpful.

I don't want any more prescriptions though.

@KitMounj from what I have read, that doesnt matter. They are happy to give advice regardless.

Ah thanks, I'll look into that.
