so since food insecurity is a growing problem in the usa, i am going to say this: if you get a stabbing pain in your *left* stomach, get your gallbladder checked asap. gallbladder infections and stones can literally kill you if the pain is dead in the middle get your appendix checked
bsky.app/profile/did:...
the gallbladder issue isn't as acute as the appendix issue. it won't hurt super bad right away, but you'll fucking notice it
my appendix started exploding in '07 and i passed out from pain in an ihop bathroom stall. it hits you out of the blue. ended up taking a cab to the er where i had to wait 20 hours to get surgery cuz 4 other ppl also had their appendixes burst got photos somewhere of the organ splitting in 2
I had appendicitis and itβs SO painful! I had complications since my appendix was much lower in my body than it was supposed to be!
i had to wait 19 hours behind several other ppl also going thru appendicitis so i got to learn copious morphine is fun and thank whoever decided to put some wildboys marathon on the tv while i writhed around lol glad you made it thru, its so bad
In addition, pain in your RIGHT upper back/shoulder' which can be referred from your gall bladder.
this. As someone who has had emergency gallbladder surgery upper back and shoulder were it.
worst pain in the world. my gods.
Saaaaame.
I wish it on every one of them
I've literally been to the ER with an infected gallbladder... Had intense pain in my right lower stomach area and couldn't eat much before I had surgery..
yeah i fucked up it's the right side
No problem... It was the worst pain that I ever had!
β¦.thatβs not where those organs are located. Upper right abdomen would be gallbladder. Lower right abdominal pain is appendix.
also when they pressed nice and hard on my stomach no matter where it kinda made me wanna die
Your appendix might have caused some peritonitis which can make the pain more diffuse with palpitation.
it's been 20 years i gotta look at a diagram again. either way ppl should probably keep an eye on stomach pain if they are eating bad like a lot of us are now
Youβre prolly right, itβs depressing af
its not great!
