I'm due to have a ct scan on Monday evening after 2 weeks of trying to
clear an urinary tract infection - nonvisible blood and some bacteria. I
have pressure in my right side under my rib cage and the slight pain
towards the side and back. He's thinking possible kidney stone but
after reading a lot about that it's sounding more like adhesions to me
although I don't have nearly the pain symptoms that I'm reading about
here. I did have a total hysterectomy 10 years ago and gallbladder
surgery 27 years ago and two c-sections in between. The area of
discomfort is about where the one incision was made for gallbladder. He
has mentioned adhesions as another possibility. I've never had
laparoscopic surgery before - what's involved with that? With all my
previous surgeries, I'm not looking forward to more. Oh, I also had
broken ribs in March and discovered osteopenia - broken on the same side
as the pressure and pain. The pressure seems to start after I'm up and
moving around in the morning and feels better when I'm laying down. I
feel like a slug. sorry this sounds confusion but I'm a little nervous
about it all. My mother also had colon cancer but that all seems to be
functioning properly. Thanks for listening.
