I have had gallbladder pain 4 a couple of yrs now. Had a very painful attack 2 yrs ago or so, went 2 the Er, was given something 4 pain 7 a GI cocktail which helped alot! No stones, but said my gallbladder was "thickening"! What does thicking mean? At the time I thought probably basically nothing! But over the past 6 months it has gotten really severe, epecially the past 3-4! I have pain Everyday..with or without food! Most Severe (Very Bad!!) is right in the middle directly in opening between ribs-so painful, not like heartburn either just stabbing pain!! and in my right side of my ribs & slightley below...pain is getting worse there! Pain in my shoulders & back below shoulder blades! I've been to the ER 3 or 4 times this yr for this but not 2 a reg dr. yet, goin' this afternoon! Would like 2 know if there is anyone with same such symptoms???, if u have been 2 a DR, the result of that?? Actually any info at all would be appreciated!! God Bless 2 al, Brandy
