Hi, I had an operation to correct acid
reflux last august and all was going well.
Since january though, i've been suffering
pain around the gall bladder area
radiating up and down the right side of my
body. An endoscopy revealed no problem
with my hiatal area or the operation.
Ultrasounds were 'normal' and it was
suggested that I push for a hida scan on
another health forum that i've contacted.
I don't see the specialist until april
2nd. I have no 'emergency' symptoms like
jaundice or fainting so I can't go for
emergency treatment. My doctor says 'its
probably ibs!!!!' but its bloody wearing -
constant discomfort with sharp pains
radiating through my abdomen
intermittently. I am going to ask for the
hida scan but its tough - another week to
wait for the consultancy (and this is
private). I'm worrying that it is a liver
problem but apart from abdominal pain I
don't exhibit any other symptoms. I too
am getting sinus pain at times and pain in
my jaw but an ecg test last month was
normal. Just feels like i'm banging my
head against a brick wall.

Hida Scan Posted: 04-27-05 23:35pm
Hello, I have had the exact same symptoms
and chain of events you mention.
Although, I have not had any surgery.
All of my test have come back normal, with
the exception of my hida scan, it was
"objectively abnormal", it does not
release as much fluid as it takes in,
however, when they injected the hormone to
cause the gallbladder to contract, I
experienced no pain, so they concluded
that the test was normal. I am currently
waiting for a phone call from my Dr. To
see what step is next. My question
is...How did your hida scan come back and
what has happened since?

I'm not the starter of this thread but
would like to tell you about my hida scan
... Mine didn't hurt either and it came
back at 39% which was 4% over the
'norm'.... Didn't sound normal to me!!!
Or feel it! :wink: thank goodness I
was referred to a surgeon that goes by
symptoms and not test results... He said
he knew it was my gb! And he was
right... I had surg 7 weeks ago and feel
totally better.... I had no stones.. But
when he removed my gb he said it was very
inflamed and swollen and full of scar
tissue which meant I had been having years
of attacks...
I can't tell you how nice it is to eat
again! Had been very sickly since around
xmas time... Got to where even water
hurt... Pathetic! I had two tacos from
jack in the box tonight... And we know
how greasy those are... Shame on me... I
had no pain.. And no diahrea... That is
one thing the surgery didn't help was my
bowel habits... They tried to tell me I
had ibs ... Which I may have but hmmmm I
feel so much better now that the gallbag
is gone!!!

I am glad to see I am not the only one
having these kind of problems. I have had
every test done to me. They all come back
normal. This pain I am feeling is not
normal! It feels like someone is pushing
out on the inside of my ribcage. It is
usually a constant pain and at times gets
very sharp. This week so far I have been
able to keep my food down and not run to
the bathroom after every meal. I get a
week where I can't keep anything in me.
I am so tired of this. I am also getting
some chest pains and some upper abdominal
pains. I am so tired on top of it all.
All I want to do is lay down and do
nothing. All these problems have totally
messed with my life. I am missing work,
school, and am stuck in the house more
then I care to be. I go next week for an
upper scope, hopefully it shows something!
I want something to be wrong so we can
fix it!

Shoulder Blade Pain Posted: 08-10-05 00:14am
I have been experiencing pain beneath my
back right shoulder blade since 1989 after
I gave birth to my son. The pain feels
as if i'm having a contraction, sort of
like having a baby out of my shoulder
blade. The pain lasts for about 5
minutes, goes away for about 5 minutes and
then comes back. This goes on for about
2 hours and then its gone for another
couple of months. It always happens while
i'm sleeping and wakes me up immediately.
It only happened about once a year but
now is happening every few months. I
also have what feels like a charlie horse
under my front right rib cage once in a
while. Other than that, those are my
only symptoms. I have spoke to my doctor
about it and she had no idea what it could
be and recommended I go to the emergency
room the next time it happens. It seems
to always happen on a holiday... Could be
due to the good food on the holidays.
So, I went to the emergency room and they
took so long to check me in, the pain was
gone by the time they got me in for a cat
scan.
Has anyone experienced this that has
gallblader problems?
Thank you for responding.
Tracy
