recurring pain in stomach Posted: 07-11-08 16:50pm
I am 55 and have had no problems with my
stomach. I went to do a Barium Enema, but
it could not be completed because there
was so much pain I almost fainted. Since
then, I have had pain about 4 inches to
the right of my belly button.
I have done a lot of tests to see what the
real problem is. The following is a list
of tests I've done:
1) Colonoscopy
2) Gallbladder
3) Kidney and Kidney Stone
4) Appendicitis
5) Ultrasound
6) Stomach X-ray
7) uterus/ovary testing
Nothing was found but I'm still having
these pains. They occur all the time,
they come and go, but I don't feel them
when I'm sleeping. Withing 7-10 minutes
of waking up it begins to bother me again.
Pain is getting more tense compared to a
year ago when it first began. I'm taking
Liberex at the moment which only provides
me with temporary pain relief.
What Kind of Doctor would you suggest I go
see?
What is wrong with me?
Will it go away?
Why did you perform Barium Enema?
How long do you have these abdominal
pains?
Is the pain related with the eating?
Have you ever made gastroscopy?
Have you ever made HIDA-scan for the
gallbladder?

Recurring Stomach Pain Posted: 07-14-08 16:36pm
I did the barium enema because I used to
get constipated a lot. The pains started
after teh barium enema aboutt eh 30th of
June last year. Sometimes i get it with
eating but sometimes as soon as i get up
in the morning it starts. I've had a
ultrasound for my gallbladder but not an
HIDA-scan. and i've had a colonoscopy but
not a gastroscopy. Where should I go from
here?
Are you still constipated?
Colonoscopy can provide us with
information about the large intestine but
not about upper digestive tract. You can
request gastroscopy for that.
Ultrasound can tell us if there is some
stones or tumor in the gallbladder causing
the pains but if you have some functional
disorder of the gallbladder you can
request HIDA-scan.
