Guest guest Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Hi everyone, My brother is in hospital with intense abdominal pain [deep,knifelike, in the area around the navel.} He has a large gallstone, but the tests they have done show the gallbladder is functioning well, the stone is not in a duct and there does'nt seem to be any infection. They have done a cat scan, an MRI,blood work, and all the standard lab tests and can't find anything. He has also had some vomiting, and diarrhea and belching. He is on pain IV meds every 2hrs, antibiotics,and pepcid. He also has hep c. But they say his Liver enzymes and function look good.Now they are saying they want to take his gallbladder even though the pain area does'nt make sense for that. They are also running a stool check tonight. Awhile back someone wrote about a similar attack and it seems there was a nerve involved in the intestines. Anyone have any info???? Thanks .
