6 years ago I started with the RUQ pain,
sick to stomach, belching, diarrhea, back
pain. I had an endoscopy, ultrasound,
hida, colonoscopy blood tests all normal.
The Dr said it was stress. Since then it
has come and gone and I have lived with
the pain until several months ago when the
LUQ pain and stomach pains become to much
to take anymore. I had another endoscopy
and they blame stress and my GERD again. I
had an ultrasound again yesterday and the
tech said no gallstones. I can not
understand why i always ( and it is almost
all the time now ) feel like I have been
punched under my ribs. They want to do
another HIDA scan. I know it will come
back negative and last time I got so sick
after it, very severe diarrhea. Is there
such a thing as a Gallbladder specaolist?
I am sick of being in pain, the ache is so
constant. I do not feel it as much since I
take pain meds for ICS. If I did not take
the Lyrica and vicadin i am sure it would
be worse. It does not matter if I eat or
not. Anyone else have any thoughts?

I Understand And I Mean I Really Do Posted: 11-24-07 12:53pm
I have been in pain under my right rib
which radiates around to my back for
almost a year now, as usual the "medical
professionals" cant figure out crap-I also
have a sore throat for the same amount of
time, and I am sick to death of it all-it
hurts when I bend,sit,laugh,cough, and I
can only sleep on my right side?????
I saw another post somewhere that said to
try and take 3 raw garlics b4 sleeping and
then an herbal tea, Im willing to try
anything at this point so I tried it and I
swear my pain is 85% down? Im so confused?
but my throat still hurts, and b/ careful
that garlic is strong you might vomit-

A dr that specializes in digestive system
and hepatobiliary medicine is known as
gastroenterologist, this type of
specialist covers gallbladder. I know I
just got diagnosed with gallstones and
have terrible attacks (been going on now
for several months) and have been really
sick even though on very low fat high
fiber diet. I am now on a surgical
waiting list to have my gallbladder
removed.

I have been going to one for about a
month. He is the second it the last few
years. He basically told me yesterday I
was crazy. I take Wellbutrin for stress.
This does not mean my physical pain is not
real. All he has done is one blood test,
endoscopy, and an ultrasound. I don't
think this rules out the fact that there
is no pain. My attacks are not drop dead
pain. Maybe I have a high threshold for
pain or it is not to bad yet. I don't thik
that means he needs to dismiss me. I still
can not eat anything witout pain.
