Gallbaldder Symptoms With "normal" Hida Scan Posted: 01-30-04 20:05pm


I have gallbladder syptoms (pain urq that radiates into my back) that has lasted for over 3 months and is now present on a daily basis for about a month. Today, I had a hida scan. It took 1 1/2 hours for my gallbladder to empty before they ejected the cck. When the cck was injected, I had terrible pain all over my abdomen, kidneys, stomach, and back. The hida scan came back "normal" any thoughts?

Gallbaldder Symptoms With "normal" Hida Scan Posted: 02-01-04 21:54pm


I'm an 18 year old girl and i've been having all the symptoms of a gallbladder problem for about 3 to 4 months now. I have had several tests ran and they can't find anything either, however I have no had a hida scan done yet. I am going to a specialist later this week, you might try also.

Hi, my name is cindy . Iam replying because I had gallbladder surgery 8 months ago.Hope I can help. I had an endoscopy where they stick a tube down your throat they can tell wether or not you have gallstones or what the problem might be. I just happened to have gallstones so the only option was surgery.If I can help with any further infomation just let me know. Sincerely,cindy

answer:
I went thru the same thing for several months. Have you had complete blood work. I had all the same symptoms went threw all the test to find out I had h-pylori bacteria. It will show up in lab work. H-pylori bacteria is a bacteria that lives in your stomach and causes painful ulcers.

any thoughts?

I am a nuclear medicine technologist (one who performs the hida scan) it was once thought that when a patient experiences pain during cck injection, it is another indication of gallbladder disease. This is not the case. Pain during cck injection is simply a side affect from the cck, which is causing excessive contractions of the smooth muscles in your abdomen. This includes the gallbladder, stomach, urinary bladder, and intestines. I would say that 40% of my patients experience some degree of cramping, usually very mild. Severe cramping only occurs in maybe 5% of all my patients. Vomiting occurs in 1% of my patients. Unfortunately, the package insert for the drug cck calls for an injection over 1 to 3 minutes. Most experts recommend injecting the drug over a period of at least ten minutes. This will prevent most cases of severe cramping. Some people will cramp up regardless, probably due to underlying causes. Unfortunately it is not possible to give pain medication, as it will affect the way the gallbladder contacts.

Gallstones Or What? Posted: 02-02-05 17:50pm


I have suffered for several years quick sharp pains which last 4 seconds across left side of chest and in back. There is some swelling it looks like and tenderness in the upper right abomen just under the right breast. Ekg's shows normal and an ultra sound on gallbladder is normal. Any idea what i'm dealing with here? :?

Frustrated With Testing Posted: 02-07-05 08:56am


I have been experiencing the exact same symptoms with the same results- my pain is so intense that it feels like the wind is knocked out of me. It feels almost like having contractions in my urq combined with nausea- I have been dealing with this since may of 04 and no answers.

Hida Scan Results- Help!!! Posted: 02-07-05 11:33am


I have been dealing with pain since may of 2004- in june I had my appendix removed and thought that the nausea and pain would end. Unfortunately the pain got and continues to get worse. I too have severe pain in my urq. I am extremely frustrated and don't know what to do next- I have had the tube down my throat, ultra sound and the hida scan. Is this all in my head??? Additionally I have lost alot of weight-don't know where to turn.

Hida And Vomit Posted: 03-11-05 14:05pm


I had a hida scan and the chemicals they injected for the second part of the test made me vomit. Tight away I felt sick and about 10 min after the test was over this yellow bile came up and out. It took over 8 hours for me to be able to drink a little water with out it coming back out. No cramps or pain from the test, but after. Has anyone else experiened this? Did any health care provider explain why it would happen or what it may mean. I had a ultrasound and no stones. I am a vegetarian at my idea bmi no illness no meds. :?:

Gb Posted: 05-10-05 22:50pm


I have nausea, diarrhea, pressure feeling in the epigastric and ruq, its been going on for awhile. I had an ultrasound for stones, it was normal, had a ivp it was normal. I have all the symptoms of h-pylori so i'm wondering if this might be it. It also goes along with ibs in which I have. I'm tired of eating, because it gives me diarrhea or make me feel like I need to vomit, but I eat cause i'm starving. Could be a peptic ulcer? Sound familar to anyone? Jj

H. Pylori And Gall Bladder Symptoms Posted: 05-24-05 20:39pm


I have been going through chronic nausea since dec. 2004. My stomach is almost always queasy. I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night with severe nausea, no vomiting. I had a hida scan and it was borderline abnormal. Then I had an upper endoscopy and the doc took biopsies. I have h. Pylori. I am on prevpack (anibiotic therapy w/ prevacid) for 14 days. I still feel the same, but it's only been 3 days so far. I am worried about my hida scan results though. Has anyone else had any similar experiences?

I was nauseated too... Along with lots of other symptoms... My hida scan was also borderline.. 39%.. Surgeon said with all my symptoms but no stones he still thought it was gb... He was right! 11 weeks post op today and no more nausea or pain... I had an endoscopy before the gb removed and it was negative for hpylori.. Good luck, hope you get some answers!

Co-worker Posted: 07-20-05 13:28pm


My co-worker is 22. She does not have health insurance. She has been complaining of back pain and discharge as well as pain while urinating. The symptoms pointed to a urinary tract infection or kidney infection. However she recieved medication and the symptoms persisted. After blood test and 4 doctor visits telling her they saw nothing, and refusing to look further even after she called back with persistent pain. The pain during urination ended, but the back pain spread to her legs and her rib cage area. She began vomiting and then went to the emergency room. Again they denied her an x-ray, but gave her more antibiotics for a bacterial infection. She is still in pain, and going again to the doctor friday. As of now she has intense pain in her lower back and it spreads to her right front abdomen. She still has discharge, and is very tired. She can lay on her stomach, back or left side without intense surges of pain. There has been concern on whether this might be some sort of gallbladder infection or something with her appendix. But she has had several blood tests and urine analysis. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on, and wouldn't it show in her blood tests or urine analysis? Any information would be very helpful.
