Any Doctors or Nurses out there?

Question

What's wrong with me?

Okay last Thursday I felt horrible I had awful diarrhea couldn't get out bed ect. ... The next day i felt better but still had diarrhea didn't think anything of it because my kids had the same thing a week ago that lasted for about a week and a half. On Monday I got a horrible headache it's finally about gone today, but last night I started having some pain on my upper(next to the rib) right side. It's not horrible and it comes and goes and I've it happen before. I'm just wondering if it's some type of stomach ache flu or what. I don't have insurance or I already would have gone to the dr so please don't suggest that. Also I've done the pushing in on my side thing to see if there's more pain when I've released and I don't seem to have that. Also I Don't have a fever and I feel a little better when I burp. What's everyone think?

Answer 1

At first I thought you my have a virus, but the further I read you describe problems with your gallbladder.  Since you have kids I'm assuming your in your thirties, and with life you gallbladder can get stones or even sluggish.  I would go to the ER if this gets worse the doctor will order an ultrasound of your gallbladder area.  Sometimes you will have to get it removed and sometimes you have to adjust your diet.  You don't have to have insurance to go there.  No hospital can turn you away!!  If you're applicable they will help you apply for medicaid if you ask.  Also after all is said and done you can talk with the hospital's billing dept., to set up a payment plan.  Feel free to email me with more questions.  I have some for you?  Food luck and get well soon!

Answer 2

My guess is that you still have some type of gastro-viral illness causing you to feel this way. My husband had something similar with stomach pain for 3 weeks. When we went to the Dr., he said it was all part of the stomach virus. Probably time will cure you.

Answer 3

The diarrhea was probably a stomach bug, the pain in the upper right side could be gall stones.  Try to avoid fatty or acidic foods.  But if it continues you should see a doctor as it likely is gall stones and may need surgery to fix it.

Answer 4

get insurance.
