Upper right quadrant gnawing pain, has
progressively gotten worse since gb was
removed 5 years ago. Currently wakes me up
2-4 times per night, gets better with
drinking liquids. Usually does not occur
during the day. Any ideas? I would love to
sleep through the night.

After so many diagnostic procedures with
negative results, it’s really difficult
at this point to identify the real
problem. The only diagnostic procedure
that remains is a laparoscopy. You can
consult an internist and abdominal surgeon
for help.
