What can cause sharp URQ pain, dull right shoulder pain, and nausea, and not show up on any of the "classic gall bladder tests", like an ultrasound or HIDA scan? An ER doc suggested that I may have a problem with a slipping rib, which may make sense because I've always been a little sensitive about pressure on my lower right rib cage (ever since I can remember).
Should I be demanding more tests on the possible gall bladder diagnosis? What tests should be done? I requested an ERCP and was told no because my liver enzymes were normal, but is it possible for something to still appear during an ERCP with normal liver enzymes? Or should I start asking that they try this alternate slipping rib theory by doing CT scans or MRIs on my rib cage?
I'm frustrated and tired of being in pain and experiencing nausea. I was a very active person before the pain started and I had been training to run a marathon. I ate a healthy diet. Now, all I can do is sit or lie down (and still be in pain).
