I was in your place about a week ago, for two ultrasounds. As it got closer I was pretty nervous. As you know the ultrasound is painless. What makes us nervous is the results. What I have been trying to tell myself is "Hey, lets get this over with and find out what is going on so I can get better and get back to my life." And keep busy. Find something you like to watch, read, play. I have a dog, and I love to walk her and hang out with her.

Hugs to you, as I know so well how you feel.

I had an ultrasound done on my gallbladder and like u was worrying bout liver , kidneys etc (which all turned out fine) , as have been getting pain on and off for at least 5 years, they did find something which my consultant say could either be a stone or a polyp....i've to get an op to get gallbladder removed . The ultrasound lady told me there and then that something had been found so went to my doctor and he pushed my appointment through as i hate waiting on results, im the worst, ive now to wait 2 mths before i see consultant again as he would like me to lose a stone, if it was really bad they will not keep you waiting that long well thats what my doctor told me.....it is a worrying time and understand how you feel, but in a way im glad that they have found out whats causing the pain, but you might be ok and find nothing...let us know how you get on and im here if you need a wee chat xx

Please try to be strong, everything will be fine. I had stomach pains all last year and by the time my gp agreed to send me for scan I had already convinced myself I was dying, I was so worked up the radiographer couldn't get me to lie down in one place and the staff had tohold me down.

It turned out to be nothing and strangely the pain didn't come back once I knew I was okay....

Chin up it will all be okay... Xxxx

[kittykat]

Good luck doll .....and just remember what you are thinking of is incredibly rare my doctor and consultant told me that....sure your on your way now so good luck again and im almost positive that it will be nothing terrible xx
