Also ask about Pancreatitis. I also ended up with this in addition to SOD.

Best of luck!
I was reading up on SOD. I had my ultrasound this morning. Pressure is mainly what I feel, not so much a sharp pain. She went over a few places over and over again. I can usually peak at the monitor and see what's up but I couldn't see it this time. I used to work at this place so hopefully my old boss gets to it soon. I hate the waiting game.
