Painful back and jelly like secretion in urine. Have undergone gall bladder and appendix removal. What does it indicate?
Patient: Hi, my mom at the beginning of october had her gal bladder taken out. About four weeks ago she started having tarry stools with blood in them. Along with that she was passing this jelly substance that ranged from brownish in color to clear whenever she urinates. The bloody stools have stopped for a couple of weeks now but the gel has persisted. Last Wednesday she had her appendix taken out. The hospital refused to run a test on the gel and just took her appendix out. Also throughout this whole time she has been having a very painful back pain that she describes as a knee in her back. With each surgery it has moved a little and will decreased for a short period of time after the surgeries but then comes back in varying pain levels ranging from like 4 to 7 on the pain scale. Thanks. Doctor: Hello there! Thank you for askingpainful back with gealtinous urine indicates UTI and is explained by recent interventions and surgical history.
