Got a “3 to 7mm” (I’m confused too but I did just wake up from an exhaustion nap when she told me) polyp in my gallbladder. Four weeks of pain and an ultrasound and that’s the conclusion for now, anyway. Normally they said they’d just wait six months and have it checked again but they’re concerned because I’ve been in as much pain as I have and that’s not normal. They’re sending me to a GI who’ll determine if surgery is an option for me.
Right now I wish I could stay out another day of work but gotta suck it up and save the sick time until I know what’s going on. If I do end up with surgery, I’m def spending the recovery time watching all my Halloween stuff because I won’t be asking off for my Halloween “staycation”.
Anyone else ever have painful gallbladder polyps? Did they require surgery? How did you manage the pain meanwhile? What can I expect?
My stomach had been hurting so bad kinda on and off, mostly on, and I feel like it either hurts or doesn’t regardless of what I eat, and yesterday I was so tired and out of it that I went and laid down for an hour nap at 2:30 and woke up completely confused at 5 having slept through a call from my doctor. I was too tired to even speak. My mom thought I was sick and kept reaching over in the car to check my temperature and I didn’t even have the energy to move my jaw to tell her I wasn’t “sick” just tired. And it wasn’t even sleepy tired, but… it was no energy. I felt empty.
I stopped at the craft store and bought clay and tiny brushes to work on my art but… I don’t know when I’ll even find energy. I couldn’t drag myself out of bed this morning for nothing and accidentally turned off my last alarm instead of snoozing it (i woke up in time anyway, and chose to just get up by then) this whole thing is insanely draining 😣 but I’m really glad I have answers.
If anyone else is/has experienced this, mind reaching out?
