Question: I am 42 years old. White female, overweight, but generally healthy except for my liver. 16 years ago, I was let go from my place of employment because my boss assumed that I had Hep C, even after my lab report said that wasn't the case. I had my gall bladder removed in 1998. The surgeon, during the operation, had accidentally sewn my bile duct shut, unbeknownst to anyone. I had surgery on my liver because it was unable to drain and as a result my liver had swelled to three times it's regular size. It was so full of stones I had to have a T-tube inserted to drain as many stones out as possible, because my liver was so swollen and full of stones, my surgeon was wary about performing the surgery. After two months, I had a successful surgery, and my liver was draining nicely. Until about six months ago. I started noticing that my liver was swelling quite painfully. Then two months after that, it would swell up even larger, however, it would only last a couple of days and then go away, no problem. Now, here is my issue at present: I'm having these "Spells" , for lack of a better term, and I'll list my symptoms for you: Fever, Chills, Nausea, Swollen liver area, Upper abdomen is extremely swollen, tight, very painful, Extreme belching and flatulence that overwhelmingly smells and tastes like sulphur, massive heartburn, when laying down in bed my chest feels really tight, but I think it's just gas building up in my abdomen. Whenever I do sit up, I start belching extremely hard for a long, long time. And that is very painful. Whenever I throw-up or have a bowel movement there is this yellow foam that always comes out with it. When I am having one of my "Spells" I either have extreme diarrhea or massive constipation . About six months ago, when I started having these issues, my spell would last one day usually. Three at the most. As of today, my spell has lasted 27 days. I haven't had a bowel movement in 9 days, and it's getting more painful each day. I can't think of anything else you'd need to know. Thanks for reading my problem.
