I have Stage 4 compensated cirrhosis (NASH.). I have been having extreme stomach pain. The last 3 liver MRIs mentioned small problems with my gallbladder-like fluid in the gallbladder. No gallstones. My primary doctor said he thinks it is my gallbladder. My hep doctor said any surgery would kill me but I am too healthy for living donor liver transplant-confusing. My primary doctor had arranged a consultation with a surgeon. The hep doctor spotted the appt and called the surgeon. At the visit the surgeon said I had to discuss with a doctor at a tertiary center. My blood work is low across the board-platelets 54. I am scheduled for a HIDA next week. If it shows that the gallbladder is the culprit then I am going to look for a surgeon. I went on a really bland diet but my body reacts negatively to all food. The pain is indescribable. I was vomiting bile but I had botox for a spastic esophagus so I don’t vomit. The bile is now in stool or urine. I don’t eat processed foods, no fast foods, no fried foods-red meat no more than twice a week.

I have tried but the pain is beating me down.
