Two different questions :)
Has anyone has an issue with their gallbladder that does NOT show up in an abdominal sono? Yet there are still gallbladder like symptoms? Or maybe symptoms of an ulcer?
Second: I used to get bad round ligament pain when I was pregnant, but it's been a few years. Does anyone still get this when they get up too quickly or sneeze. I think it's unusual.
can't answer the gallbladder question. you may want to press your dr for an answer on that one.
but i have gotten round ligament pains when not pregnant. i thought i was alone. google was not too helpful either. i have not been pregnant for going on 3 years and every once in a while i will get the round ligament pains. not sure if its normal... but i do know that i am not the only other person in the world to have this happen
Don't know abut the gallbladder ??
Yes, I still get really bad round ligament pain. Having worked with a Physio / Physical therapist quite often, my reasons are for having very tight hamstring, connected to the hip flexors, connected to the SI joint, etc..which causes an imbalance in the front ligaments. I had a bad ski accident which ripped my ACL which required major knee surgery, and my hips have never been the same after pregnancy.
All that to say, do you stretch much? Do you stand on you feet a lot? Stretching and massage and a good mattress will all help your ligaments, but it's not a one time fix...you have to commit to a lot of stretching the rest of your life.
ditto Tadpole's response, and it's been 5 years since my last pregnancy.
My youngest will be 4 tomorrow, and I have round ligament pain almost daily. Often many times a day. But, I also have a genetic condition that causes the collagen that holds the ligaments in place to be weaker than a normal person so I know this is at play too. I never had this particular pain until I was pregnant though.
As for the gall bladder issues, I had those too. I had the ultrasound and they did find some gall stones. I then had the radiation test to see if my gall bladder was emptying correctly and it was. I went to the surgeon and she said that she wouldn't do surgery on me and to go see a GI specialist instead. Ultimately, they found white blood cells in my large intestine,and had me try going gluten free. AMAZING! all of my symptoms are gone! Even though I did not come up celiac in any way, it was a try it and see thing. I am gluten intolerant, and since going gf in Oct of 2013, I have not had any gall bladder pain, I don't throw up constantly, and I can think so much better. I would recommend giving it a try and see what happens. It doesn't hurt to try it out. I knew within 4 days that it was the answer for me.
