Sounding off - sorry

movedealot do hope you feel better soon and let us all know how doctor goes Monday sounds horrid for you.

Only just come back to Gransnet after an unbelievably long absence..............so sorry to hear about your troubles movedalot and I'll keep looking on GN forums until I see you have seen a doctor and got it sorted. too if it goes with your meds

They took the gall bladder away as well! No appendix either but that is not hidden in a cupboard!

An appendix in a little jar guarantees you can't have appendicitis again. Gallstones in a little jar doesn't mean you can't have them again – but I really do hope not.

Move for you, pain makes you feel wretched, get well soon.

Oh dear Moved nothing like the wimp I have been!
Back pain is awful. Can you identify when it started, that should give you a clue as to the cause.
I was a KS1 teacher so lots of bending across low tables caused my back probs. Thankfully, mostly a thing of the past since retirement.
Hope you get it sorted soon.

Thanks everyone.

Absent there is one thing I am sure of, it is not gallstones, they are in a little jar in a cupboard somewhere and have been for 32 years!

Move - Hope you have as comfortable weekend as possible.

Movedalot...the sooner you get to see your GP, the better. Time to get rid of the pain! Warm hugs. x

Movedalot Doesn't sound digestive which usually creates agonising spasms of pain. Worth considering gynaecological – just because it doesn't work any more doesn't mean it can't cause problems – or kidneys or gallstones, both of which I understand are pretty awful. My guess would be gallstones but I have absolutely no medical qualifications, just – if you'll pardon the expression – a gut feeling. In the days when my guts use to block completely, I found a hot water bottle helped hugely. Don't be tempted to mock such simple help – bowel adhesions are known to be one of the most excruciating pains anyone can suffer so if it helps those, it might help you. I do hope you feel better soon, the GP sorts you out and that you are well enough for the concert. If you're not, well, it's only one concert not the end of the world.

I am glad that you are seeing the doc again on Monday and hope that your concert and the weekend go OK for you. It is very debilitating being in pain I know.

Let us hope that the doc will be able to help.

Still on the sofa, still too cowardly to do anything about it until Monday, still a wimp, still worried. Not in pain as been lying down all afternoon! Thinking of going to get myself some naughty hot chocolate.

movedalot Do you have an "out of hours or drop in service" anywhere near you? I don't think I would leave anything so unexplained and painful for that long.

Are you still on that sofa, Moved? If not, I shall send the GNs round to put you back there!

Look after yourself. xx

Yes quite movealot as jeni says - if you are really worried see your doctor.
Son (the chiro) says symptoms like yours could well be back related (if no other symptoms and doctor has eliminated gynae, urinary etc causes).

Yes, we both think we are doing OK after nearly 45 years and are pretty content with our lot on the whole

That should be un, b iPad!

As I thought! When you've got a good in, hang on to him, they're few and far between!

Thanks jeni! Probably would have got it if I was my usual self.

Didn't think much of my mother's lifestyle so not jealous. Yes, rather like DH and wouldn't trade him in for any other.

Kidney stones usually give pains in the back at waist level.
I've never known ca cervix to present as back pain, I'd have expected other symptoms such as a discharge as well.
I presume you've had regular smears.
If you're that worried and that much pain, GO TO THE DOCTORS TODAY
How much louder do we have to shout?

Worst pain is kidney stones on the move. They can do it very slowly but I don't know how long you've been in pain. And throw in the comment that your mother had cervical cancer and watch if the GP blinks and then rush to reassure you. GPs are only human and need us to be forthcoming and clear even in pain.

You sounded as though you wished that you'd had more partners which I thought was strange as you seem very happy with one you'd got (lucky you)
Nothing more than that!
I obviously misunderstood!

Jeni don't understand, please explain your ?

movedIt could be a kidney infection and it could get suddenly worse, then your whole weekend would be spoilt...Been there and ended up in A&E. Go to any doc
