I was 22 and started having gallbladder pain. I was not even sure what the pain was until later. It took me 1 year to finally find out that my gallbladder did not function. My gastro Dr. Did not want to believe that a guy my age had something wrong with his gallbladder without the presence of stones. To make a long story short, I had a hida scan which revealed the source of my year's worth of distress. I had my gallbladder removed, and everything was great. A few years later, the heart-burn returned. I had a stretta procedure done to help with this. It is a new endoscopic procedure used to treat heart-burn. It has worked out well. Now just in the past few weeks, I have started having gallbladder pain even though I have no gallbladder. I saw my regular doctor who ordered a ct scan, an ultrasound, and another hida scan. All came back fine. The prescribed levsin, but I am still in pain. Am I nuts, or is there a reason why I am in pain? If there is anyone else out there with the same difficulties, please contact me.
