What Causes Swelling In The Lower Legs While Suffering From Gall Stones?
I for a fact have gallstones for a year or more. Its reallllly been bothering me really bad I ve had vomiting, fever, worse pain ever and I ve notice that my feet ankles and lower legs are swollen as well my urine is dark and its not normally dark. Should I go to the hospital asap or wait to see the doctor it will be 3 months or more to get into the Dr. Would you suggest the hospital or my doctor? I am in so much pain and discomfort that I cannot tell you the last time I have slept for more than an hour at a time if that. Also even if I take a drink of water it comes right back up. The Dr gave me Phenergan about 8 months ago for the vomiting back then which I still had four or five left which have taken the past couple of days and as long as I m taking Phenergan I can eat and drink but if I don t take it which I m out now I ll go right back to vomiting and I m getting worried. My mother is a certified licensed nurse but I m even scared to say something to her because I know she ll make me go to the hospital immediately but you know how moms can be so I don t know if it s her making me go because she s concerned or she s concerned because he s my mom or because she s concerned cuz of just flat-out being a nurse. I need help please. Thank you. Jennifer Rowe.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The issue of vomiting with abdomen discomforts are solely related to sequence of gall stones which require definite surgery. The swelling lower legs can be of multiple reasons as
- altered protein levels
- kidney issues
- others
In a nut shell, you require a physician visit and detailed evaluation for your sake irrespective of your mom`s emotions, think of your own health as your mother is concerned in correct way.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
