Please advize.......I just discovered that my CT scan showed a blockage

[Guest guest]

of the gallbladder " neck " by a calcified (stone?) that is 5 mm in

size. How significant is the Size and the Location? Also, would

gallbladder stones cause REFERRED (flank) pain in my back " mainly " in

area of kidneys on down to lower back? I had small KIDNEY stone in

2002 and passed it. Three weeks ago developed 24/7 pain consistent in

back kidney are with VERY tender trigger point(may have Fibromyalgia),

and I thought I either had kidney stones OR CYSTS.....never really had

discomfort under right ribs(g'bladder area)....so does g'stones cause

referred pain in back/kidney areas? Thanks a bunch for your replies.

I've been VERY tired/no energy for over a year and lost

weight...thought it was Fibro. Thanks for comments. I read about

HORROR stories of surgery....will lithrptisy(sp) remove stones without

surgery(kid stones go out thru urethra....were do g stones LEAVE from?

Or do they stay forever and grow bigger? Thanks Shybasset

How is your diet? How much water are you drinking? How much soda? I went

through something similar to you with kidney/UTI problems a few years ago,

followed by gall bladder problems. Your fatigue and kidney problems can

simply be from chronic dehydration. I discovered about 10 years ago that my

kidneys are so sensitive that if I were to drink a second can of soda in any

24 hour period, I would develop pain in the kidneys. These days I drink

maybe 2 a week- and hardly finish a can. I also had fatigue for a LONG time.

I finally started drinking tons of water (now w/ Bragg’s apple cider

vinegar), eating lots of fruits/veggies, whole foods, etc. and cut out

preservatives and artificial colors. I also have been taking high quality

supplements which made a huge difference. I would definitely do a few liver

cleanses. I think of myself as having gotten “toxic” when I was at the point

you are at. It is all related, and the first step is to put in good fuel.

Have a blessed day!
