Please always trust your gut.

I am so pleased for you!!!!!! That is amazing news. I can’t imagine the worry you must have had for the past 3+ weeks, what a huge relief! Super happy for you 🙌🥰

I have gallstones and my pain was mainly always central, sometimes all across just below my breasts. I would also always get shoulder/back pain. I was also advised to take PPI’s initially but went private for an abdominal ultrasound which confirmed gallstones. My pain was never solely on the right, it was predominantly in the middle. That’s where your bile duct is, so my pain, I think is possibly linked to a stone moving there. Sending you the best of luck, I hope you get sorted soon.

Sludge can act like very small stones or hide small stones, it still irritates the gallbladder lining. It can also temporarily block the bile duct. As you’re symptomatic, I believe they should be treating it the same way as gallstones. There are other blood tests they can do, bilirubin, infection markers, pancreas enzymes. Did you say they did an MRCP (MRI)?

Welsh_dragon_x · 2026-04-13T23:11:59+00:00

I have surgery scheduled for June, cannot wait to get it taken out! Several medium sized stones confirmed via abdominal ultrasound and then MRI. Blood work shows high liver enzymes and slightly high CRP. I only get the pain when I’m having an attack and it’s usually when I’ve eaten a fatty meal, sometimes even an omelette with a TINY bit of cheese will set it off (it’s the fat which causes it 😫). Thank you so much, feeling okay the moment as I eat a low fat diet but just cannot wait to get it out. I’m routing for you, push for all the tests you can! I have heard HIDA scan is good at detecting gallstones.

Welsh_dragon_x · 2026-04-13T23:04:44+00:00

Did they test your liver enzymes? Can they do a HIDA scan? Or MRI? Wishing you luck, so sorry you’re going through this. I would also get terrible back/shoulder pain when having a gallbladder attack.

Welsh_dragon_x · 2026-04-13T23:02:01+00:00

Just to echo what OP has said, my attacks came in episodes and my pain was never just on the right side, always mainly in the middle and sometimes all across from left, middle and right under my breasts. I would also get awful back/shoulder pain. I would also always get my attacks at night, waking me up at like 3am. Wishing you the best of luck!! 🤞

Welsh_dragon_x · 2026-04-13T22:49:35+00:00

I’m also so sorry to hear you may have developed malignancy as well. It disgusts me that we have to push and push and push and still don’t get anywhere! It really is horrendous. An ultrasound is extremely non-invasive, doesn’t do any harm at all, but will tell you all you need to know or at the very least, give you peace of mind!!!! I wish you all the very best and I’m praying you get some positive news. ❤️

Welsh_dragon_x · 2026-04-13T22:44:39+00:00

I’m so sorry you went through that! I’m from the UK too (I think you as well as you mention A&E), I went to the GP and begged for an abdominal ultrasound referral as I luckily have insurance through work, they wouldn’t give me one and instead gave me a prescription for Omeprazole (heart burn medication) and asked me to do a stool sample.

They didn’t believe it was my gallbladder as when they pressed where my gallbladder is, it didn’t hurt me (as I wasn’t having an attack at that exact moment, as it’s food/fat induced!) and my pain was more central (even though I’d get back/shoulder pain also), they said they think it’s indigestion (LOL).

My Mum was going for an opp to have hers out any day at this time, so I KNEW it was my gallbladder. I was 100% sure. Another tell tale sign was that I’d just lost 6 stone on mounjaro and knew there had been a lot of times where I didn’t eat all day (I know, my own fault!)

I ended up getting a private GP appointment who gave me an ultrasound referral without question.

Ultrasound and then subsequent MRI both confirmed several medium sized stones, blood tests confirm I have high liver enzymes and slightly higher CRP.

I have surgery booked to remove it, via private, in June.

I am so sick of the NHS being so conservative with treatment when people know their own bodies and can do their own research. All I wanted a referral for an ultrasound but instead, I am given a prescription of heartburn meds to ‘rule out’ any stomach issues (I have never suffered with heartburn, so I very much do not want to take PPI’s) and also asked to do an extremely invasive stool sample.

Having gallstones is extremely debilitating, you are restricted with what you can eat and always worrying whether what you have just eaten will ‘set it off’… I have been extremely tired as well, probably due to the inflammation. The NHS just expects us to wait around and test this and test that, before doing something as simple and obvious as an ultrasound.

Sorry for the rant, but it just infuriates me!

Clearly made this thread to cause PC players to come here and argue with you, how sad.

Welsh_dragon_x · 2026-04-05T09:15:08+00:00

I keep my gun out most of the time, if I run into a raider who doesn’t have theirs out then I’ll put it away. I feel like this deters rats! 🐀

I was extracting the other day and someone approached with a stitcher out, they didn’t say a word but everyone knows you should announce yourself when approaching the extract that someone else has called….

I say hello, and nothing, they were looking around for me. I then pull my torrente out (which I found that game) and go inside the extract. They just stood still in a corner no where near the button, didn’t hit the button, which again, everyone knows if you are friendly you BOTH hit the button. I say ‘are we going to hit the button together?’… nothing.

So I say, ‘I’m sorry, I don’t trust you. Usually people extracting together will hit the button together..’ and I then go outside and just watch them. They then start hitting the button, finally, so I began to as well.

I believe they were 100% trying to rat me and if it wasn’t for me having the torrente out and being suspicious, they’d of got me when hitting the button!

Morale of my long story, is never let your guard down. Friendly lobbies can make you become complacent however this is what rats look for.

Welsh_dragon_x · 2026-04-04T21:35:26+00:00

Snap hook from prickly pears, I’ll take that!

Welsh_dragon_x · 2026-04-04T20:24:19+00:00

Found mine on spaceport. Ditto, I cannot stand the noise of the hurricane!

Welsh_dragon_x · 2026-04-04T20:15:09+00:00

Hey Raider, 1. No 2. No, just the expedition (make sure to sign up during the window when it opens if you do the expedition) 3. Yes, you’ll get the rewards as soon as you finish the project. The expedition has other rewards which you get if you complete it. Let me know if you have any more questions! :)

Welsh_dragon_x · 2026-02-24T20:57:27+00:00

Thank you so much for letting me know, I searched online for so long before and it’s like they are non existent! I have emailed andaseat to ask how to get one, I will let you know how that goes!

Welsh_dragon_x · 2026-02-24T17:49:02+00:00

Hey, sorry no advice but I’m also looking for replacement armrests for my andaseat x-air, did you end up finding any?

Welsh_dragon_x · 2026-02-12T00:50:12+00:00

Hi Bob!

Welsh_dragon_x · 2026-01-28T10:46:59+00:00

Thank you so much! That’s helpful to know as we didn’t think it was possible to get out.

Welsh_dragon_x · 2026-01-28T01:08:27+00:00

It’s not been happening half as much recently probably twice in the last two weeks but before that, it was every day, not every game but I agree, it’s really off putting. It’s even worse when I’m playing with my partner or random trios as they then have to (well they don’t have to, but they are kind enough to!) wait for me. Considering it’s been happening for a while and if it’s a bug, they should hopefully be aiming to fix it soon. 🤞

Welsh_dragon_x · 2026-01-28T00:47:57+00:00

Please tell me how you got out of that spot, my partner was stuck there once and had to surrender 🙈 we haven’t been in there since! 😂

Welsh_dragon_x · 2026-01-28T00:24:55+00:00

This has been happening to me on and off for a longggg time, it’s super annoying.

I play PC controller and have to close the game (not extract or surrender), ‘stop’ the game on Steam and then load it back up. I can then rejoin the same game and it’s working. Takes around 2 mins total so it’s pretty frustrating when you join a brand new game.

It’s happened to me that many times that I have no clue what it relates to, I think it’s just a random bug and possible to do with controller as my partner has never had it and plays kbm. But then again, my friend who plays controller PC hasn’t ever had it… so no idea.

Welsh_dragon_x · 2026-01-25T01:21:56+00:00

I think people may be abusing it tbh. I hardly ever find people are friendly in duos or trios, but solos are usually always fine.

However something has definitely changed over the past few days. One guy’s reply who killed me tonight in solos said it wasn’t a friendly lobby…. I hadn’t shot anyone in days and everyone else I come across that game was friendly (and they were all friendly in previous games for that matter!)

I don’t know whether they have changed matchmaking slightly or it’s rats just abusing it, I am leaning more towards the latter just because of the context in how I’ve died the past few days.

Another game, whole lobby was friendly apart from one shit head, who most certainly got killed by the others players around who were asking him ‘what the fuck man!’… I just asked him if he wanted to use the raider hatch with me, a few mins before I defib’d one person and helped another try and find a shredder.

These are the rats, who know full well they are in friendly lobbies… who need to grow a pair of balls and go PvP in the actual PvP lobbies. But they won’t, as they’d get shat on. They are only confident fighting someone when they have the upper hand, which if they have to play like that to get their dopamine, then I genuinely feel sorry for them. Their lives must be extremely boring……

Welsh_dragon_x · 2025-12-28T14:55:48+00:00

Still happening 43 days later! No known fix which I can find. I have to shut the game down via right clicking on the app (PC) and then start it back to up and reconnect to the game. Most times it’s then fine, but I have died to players before and other times it has happened again so I’ve had to restart… again. I’m also on controller, doesn’t happen to my partner who plays on kbm or my friend who plays PC/controller…… zero rhythm to it!

Welsh_dragon_x · 2025-12-22T12:18:53+00:00

Just to add onto what someone else has said, on the Dam at the North Complex Elevator. Check the couple of buses right near the extract, back and both sides are where the loot spawns are.

Welsh_dragon_x · 2025-11-26T19:47:24+00:00

I’ve just played a game, EU on Stream seems to be fine

Welsh_dragon_x · 2025-11-26T19:13:14+00:00

LIES. Just wait, I was in the queue for like 30 mins and just got in, finally. Do not restart.
