Pain under left boob. Gallstones?

**Cherrylips** · 27-10-2007, 07:56pm

I keep getting this pain under my left boob and its really bugging me now. Gonna have to see the doc with it I think.

Its been v.sore again this week, under my left boob, sort of central iykwim. It feels like pressure, and when I press the area it hurts.

Any idea what it could be? Gall stones or something, I havent a clue. Just know it shouldnt feel like it does.

Love Cherry x

Pain from gallstones is normally on your right. If you can eat a fatty meal and not be in dire agony thats worse than labour it wont be that

How often do you get it? Does it come and go? You might have pulled something Cherry. I know I have before and it hurts like buggery!

Gall bladder pain is definitely on your right - speaking from experience of being in absolute agony with it in labour. I think it sounds like a pulled muscle. I hope a GP can reassure you.

It seems to be when Im stressing out hon. Lord knows that happens a lot!

When I find myself losing my patience or getting wound it, it happens more then.

I didnt sleep last night, had a horrible panicy night, chest pains etc. Then earlier tonight this pain started which I have had before.

The kids are in bed now, so Im trying to relax in the hope it goes away. Im so tired of worrying about my health

could it be acid reflux? If your stressed this can cause alot of unknown tummy pains.

And my gosh timothys mum you had it as well as labour?

I think its way worse than labour!

I've had it before, when I've been stressed or nervous. I did go to the GP with it once, he said it was down to exam nerves. Hope you have a nice relaxing evening, you deserve it!

Gallstones are evil!

I would much rather go though 42 hours of labour again than have gallstones again. If you are still worried Cherry, I would see your doc just to put your mind at rest.

me too

I honestly thought I was going to die when I had gallstones. By the time they got to me though, I was in a pretty bad way. I wouldnt wish it on anyone.
