Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Discomfort Around The Gallbladder Area?
Husband is having gallbladder discomfort. He has had all of the test done in December and they say that it is working at 54% part of the time. He also has a stiff heart muscle on the right side so he is on heart medication. So the surgeon want to wait until it is is worse before she well do the surgery. He is have pain, diarrhea, upset stomach. Should we demand that our primary doctor help us find a surgeon that will do the surgery. So we can get him some relief, I do not think that it is working 54% all the time. Think day of test was a good day.
