Guest guest Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hi again, Apart from incessant itching, I have been otherwise symptom free with my PSC so far. However, this weekend, I have had an unusual pain in my right side. It was located at the base of my rib-cage [around the place where I had the biopsy around 3 years ago] and at first it was a short, sudden pain, a bit like a pinch. It came and went for a few hours, then became a more insistent throbbing, until eventually it passed and I have had no pain since. I had no fever or any other symptoms. Could this be PSC related, or am I suffering from gas? ;O) Thanks - sorry for yet another question! Kym x UK PSC Feb 2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kym, Those symptoms sound like a stone or sludge being passed through a stricture. The stretching required to push the stone through causes pain which peaks and disappears after the stone passes. If accompanied by fever medical attention should be sought immediately. Without a fever, unless the pain becomes unbearable, waiting is the usual approach.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Were you by chance a little dehydrated at the time? > > Could have been, I was in a very cold, windy field watching my son compete at motocross at the time. The 'facilities' are not the best so I try not to have to use them! Kym x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
