gall bladder pain but normal tests Posted: 02-29-08 21:35pm
Since Jan. 18 I have been having pain in
my upper right stomach that radiates to my
right back area. The pain is just under my
ribs. It feels like there is a fist inside
of me constricting something. The pain is
worse after I eat and at night. I have
been to the ER, my gastro doctor, and the
surgeon. I've had an ultrasound, CT scan,
HIDA scan, and blood work. In October, I
had an upper endoscopy. All of the tests
were negative for gallstones and disease.
But when I had the HIDA scan, it caused so
much pain that it took my breath away. I
have been tested for H-Pylori...negative.
The surgeon says that he cannot help me
surgically and that it is acid reflux. My
gastro doctor says it is not acid reflux
and there is nothing more he can do for
me. I'm tired of being in pain and treated
like a human pingpong ball. My gastro
doctor says that sometimes all the tests
for gallbladder disease are negative but
it is the gallbladder. Any suggestions on
further tests or where I should turn now?
