Mike is puzzled by phantom pains that would come and go. After a few episodes he decides to get to the bottom of it. An ultrasound soon uncovers the problem. Have you every experienced intense pains that would go as quickly as they came?

I've experienced some pain, almost like a squeezing pain throughout my back area.



Hi. My name is Mike. I'm from Linden, New Jersey and I've got my gallbladder removed.



I was about to go the hospital, it got so bad, and in an instant it went away. A couple weeks later on a Sunday, I was up at a barbeque and right after the barbeque I went to the hospital, the pain was so severe.



They gave me medicine for the pain, but before it could even kick in, the pain, again went away. Well, the following Sunday, I wasn't so lucky. After coming from another barbeque, I went into the hospital with severe pain. That's when they did an ultrasound and found out my gallbladder was bad. It was a simple procedure, three little scars where they put the camera in and did the procedure. I spent a few days in the hospital; some people don't even have to spend that long. And I never missed my gallbladder.
