Gallbladder problems? Or something else?
Hi everyone,
The last 3 or 4 days, I’ve been noticing a pain in my right side,
just under my breast and inside my ribcage. It comes and goes and
sometimes it is sharper than other times. Most time it feels like it
is pulsing if this makes any sense. I am really worried that this
means I am developing gallbladder problems.
Could anything else be causing this pain, and how concerned should I
be? Perhaps I just pulled something while swimming? I’ve been on
MAJOR diets before and lost tons of weight in very short periods of
time, yet never experienced this before. Also, if it IS a
gallbladder problem, does this mean that surgery is guaranteed? Are
their other ways for drs to treat gallbladder problems?
Many thanks,
Caroline
