Thanks fellas...basically I took the advice to check out my stomach cramps which were getting severe. Dr saw me checked and explained what he thinks I may have. I am jaundiced due to gall stones. The earlier pains was that they were trying to force their way out of the gall bladder. The latest consistant pain is maybe one of the stones has managed to come out and blocked the tube to the stomach so bile which helps with digestion in the stomach is bloked and bacteria build up gets into the blood stream thats when I get nausea and cold sweat and then into the kidneys which eventually makes my urine like black tea. They will do an MRI to see if they can find the stone the do a ERCD(scope that goes through my mouth) to remove it. Then will need operation to remove gall bladder. Blood test also shows my enzymes and jaundice at high levels.
Latest MRI results in...looks like I have to go for surgery. One stone is blocking the pea sized hole to the stomach passage for the liver, one more stone trying to come out of the gall bladder and 10 more stones inside the bladder. Will start ERCD tomorrow 3pm to remove the one stone and clean the passage. Surgery after that to remove gall bladder by another surgeon yet to be consulted.
Man I can't stand hospital gowns...kinda windy behind.

Cheers,
Richard

Well, that's enough to be going on with Richard! I understand gall stones can cause a lot of pain, so you must have been suffering - at least now you have an answer and will get it sorted. I hope the treatment and surgery go OK.
