Good news and bad news.

Good news - I don't have gallstones.

Bad news - I don't have gallstones.

To clarify - I've had constant pain for the past week, I'm nauseous a good chunk of the time, I can't eat without pain/nausea/gassiness and there is apparently, no bloody reason for it.

While I should be glad I might not need surgery after all, I'm not exactly happy. It's the vertigo all over again. No answers and no feeling better.

I need to go do laundry now.

Actually, sludge is better than 'it's all in my head', believe me. *wry*

I have no idea what the report said - never saw it. The technician said I didn't have gallstones, and when I asked what that meant, she said I'd have to ask the doctor in a couple of days when the results went through.

I'm almost willing to lay money that the offical reading comes back with "sludge", then. The techs can only offically "read" the obvious stuff. Sludge is more subtle.

*comforts* There's all kinds of inflammation that you could be experiencing. I never got whether or not they gave you any pain medication. :( Don't hesitate to be "whiny" at the doctors. Inflammation needs to be alleviated; toughing it out doesn't so any good, as I found out with my torn tendons and torn rotator cuff.

I really doubt it's all in your head. I hope you can get something for the pain and nausea, even if there's no visible reason. It's very hard to heal when you can't eat or rest.
