Ultrasound, Ct, Upper Gi, Hida Scan All Normal Still In Pain Posted: 05-25-07 17:23pm
Hi, I have been having awul urq pain for
about a year. They thought it was too much
fiber at first, but I kept asking for
tests and all are normal. I did have
endoscopy and it showed a gastric
diverticulum, but they didn't think that
was causing pain. My hida shows 50%. What
else could this be? I see my doc the 29th
and wanted to be prepared with possible
scenarios to ask him about. I am in pain
right this minute. Next time it occurs I
will go to the ER. It was happening about
4 to 5 days a week anywhere from 2 to 24
hours. After the endoscopy, it went away
for 16 days, then came back again about
once a week. I cannot even care for my
kids, bathe them, play with them etc when
this happens.
Thanks,
Megan

Is that the only symptom that you are
having? Are you having regular bowl
movement. Have you had a colonoscopy? If
not that should be the next step. Get
testing done to see if you are having
gallbladder problems. Also ask about
checking for chrons disease. The
colonoscopy would show up that you have
it. My coy friend has been having stomach
problems for three years now. He has
missed months of school and still no luck.
He is vomiting left and right and had his
gallbladder out. His has visted the ER man
times. It would also be good in you see a
gastrologist if you dont see one now. It
sometimes takes years to dignose a
problem. Have you been to an different
country in the pass year since this
problem has started? Or been camping. You
could have picked up a perisit without
even knowing. You need to ask your doctor
to have him or her run more tests.

thank you for your reply. I see a GI,
thats who did the endoscopy, and he sent
me to a surgeon and he would not say why.
It is so upsetting, the surgeon he wants
me to see will not take my insurance, so
my primary doc sent me to one who is not
sure what a gastric diverticulum is! UGH!
I have not had a colonoscopy. I just wish
they could do all these tests at once ya
know? Thanks again!

I know you want a test done and it to show
whats wrong. Believe me I wish that too.
My boyfriend is so sick with stomach
issues. Now there going to take out in
appendix just to make sure. He has had so
many colonoscopys and endooscopys he cant
even stand to sit through another one. The
stomach is such a strang orgen. But to
tell you the truth it might be years to
see if they find something if they do. For
him in eighth grade he came down with a
stomach ache then started throwing up
thinking its a virus and ever since then
he is still vomiting ever week. He hasnt
been in school for four months forget
about the other years. Well good luck but
also ask your gi about a possible parisite
b/e they are hard to pin point if you have
one. And believe me that little organism
that is in someones body can cause so many
problems and if you did have one you would
have it forever for they never go away.
you would have to take meds to stop the
symptoms.
all of my ultrasounds, ct, HIDAs, labwork,
ERCP, endoscopy and everything was normal
and they finally took out the gall bladder
and the pathology showed chronic
inflammation. So it could still be that
damn little gall bladder causing your
troubles...
