Has any one else had gallstones and a hiatus hernia?

Question

I had my gallbladder removed 3 weeks ago but the pain was the same now i find i have hiatus hernia do the two go together?

Answer 1

I am an alternative medicinal therapist and an ex nurse and the answer is no they do not go together. Gall stones are found in the gall bladder which is attached to the liver. A hiatus hernia is part of your intestine is protruding through a gap in the rib. i have had gall stones 20 years ago and i have never had a problem

Answer 2

There is no such thing as a hiatus hernia. You are talking about a hiatal hernia. Large hiatal hernias can cause some of the symptoms you mentioned, but so can other conditions. Linda is correct. You can't be diagnosed properly in here. A workup involves more information than what you can provide this way. You need to see your physician. The symptoms you describe, as well as your recent medical history, warrant a visit to your doctor.

Answer 3

had gallstones, and had the gallbladder removed, not sure about the hiatus hernia. but after 2 and a half years now the pain is going, its not the result i was expecting, but there you go everyone is different!!

Answer 4

I had my gallbadder removed about 7 years ago at which time I was also told that I had a small hernia, that luckily resolved itself. I was told that the hernia could have been caused by a the stones or one of the side affects associated with the stones.

Talk to your doctor about this, mine kept an eye on it, gave me some medication and after a few weeks rectified itself but it needs to be monitored and the correct action taken (medication, surgery...) needs to be taken. So please go talk to your doctor about it.

Answer 5

I had my gall bladder removed a number of yrs ago and next month i go into have a hernia sorted, i got hernia due to scaring from gall bladder. pain can linger for long time so i hope you get over this real soon .

Answer 6

I am not sure if they go together, but i have those strange terrible pains all the time. I have been to the ER over them twice. I was told by one nurse it could be a hiatal hernia and by another it could be my gall bladder. I feel your pain though
