Hi guys,

This is a question about an issue I am having. For about 3 years I have been having these episodes of pain. It is located in the top part of my stomach area. They always happen at night and start off with a little gas like discomfort and then turn into horrible pain. It is so bad that I can not get comfortable. I went to the doctor about 2 years ago and she told me it was an ulcer. It did the two week treatment of anitbiotics and assumed all was good. Last week it happened again. It also feel very sick to my stomach. The pain only lasts for that night, but I feel kinda bad for several days. I have an appointment next week with the doctor, but was wondering if it could be my gallbladder. The area also stays tender for a few days.

Have any of you experienced gallbladder attacks and what did they feel like. I have had several people tell me this is what it sounds like.

I have not known any one personally that has had gallbladder problems.

    Both my Mom and Sister had their gallbladders removed in their 30's, I think. FYI.

    No Help Here
    Just well wishes. I've never had a gallbladder attack, but have heard the pain is pretty intense. I can tell you, if you get a CT, you'll know - my last set of scans (NED!!) showed I have a gallstone (no symptoms for me, thank goodness). I dunno if there are other tests your doc can run. Good luck.
