I dont know what is happening to me. After almost every meal I get this gnawing pain under my right rib cage that radiates into my ribs all the way up to my shoulder and real sharp in my shoulder blade. I also get a gnawing pain under my breast bone and pain in my left shoulder(like gas pains). I have had a ct and xray=no gallstones. Therefore, was diagnosed with ibs. Was given nulev...Didnt do anything but give me a headache after it knocked me out for bout an hour. Was also give lortab 5's. What could this be? Could it still be my gallbladder. Although I am more worried about my liver. My stools are also a real pale yellow and twice where whitish. I sometimes throw up this nasty yellow stuff. I found the worst pain happens after my fav. Meal=kfc. It also happens alot at night. It sometimes wakes me up at like 2 am. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. U can im me anytime on yahoo. Same screenname. Thank you to all how reads this even if you dont reply.

Sincerely,
angel

Hello
Based on your symptoms of pain right after eating and the location of your pain it sounds like a gall bladder disorder. Don't be frightened it is very common and correctable. Suggest that your Dr. Do a hida scan. This test check the function of the gallbladder. You basically don't eat after midnight the night before. They lay you on a table give you an injection through iv that inflates the gall bladder you lay there for like 15 mintues then they give you a second injection that deflates the gall bladder and they watch the percentage of functionality of the gall bladder. If they find it is not working properly they usually remove it with surgery. Laproscopic surgery that you recover from pretty quickly. Less than a 48 hours in the hospital. The gall bladder is a funtion of the liver, delivering extra bile when needed and if it is operating wrong it could cause your odd stoll and such. Try not to worry, trust your body and keep pursing answers from the Dr.
