Hi...
Have you ever been tested for gall stones? 3 1/2 years ago I had a gall
stone a few weeks after my son was born - I had never had them before,
and was a very healthy weight...the docs said it was because I lost so
much weight so quickly after son was born. Anyways, my symptoms were
stabbing pain half way up my back with it radiating to my shoulder and I
was severly itchy all over my entire body for a few days leading up to
the attack. I also had diarreha and vomitted a few times. Not to alarm
you but when I read a couple of your problems it reminded me of how I
felt. I hope your issues subside - good luck!
Katie

I had a partial hysterectomy 4 years ago and for the past few weeks I have been in excrutiating pain in my middle back and under my breast (like in the rib cage) I have been very nauseated today and it hurts so much to sit up for any period of time. I also have had itching on various parts of my body (especially on the inside of my hands at times) and I also have had the urinary problems. I found this website and was hoping to find some kind of answer to what in the world could be going on with me. I don't know if you found out anything or not but if you did I would greatly appreciate any kind of advice.
