Mirror of a gallbladder symptoms...Please
help!!!
Hi... Am 30yr-old lady, with 2 kids
(via c-section)
i've gone with so many tests already...
3 - whole abdomen ultrasound
1 - whole abdomen xray
1 - gastroscopy
1 - colonoscopy
1 -lumbo sacreal xray
and series of blood chems and urinalysis
... And went all normal...
Except for slight gastritis (single
scratch) and esophagitis (slight erosion
or inflammed on the end) and...
Which I think that won't give me so much
pain such as:
-bloatedness (that looks like am 4-6 mos.
Pregnant)
-fullness (even if I all had small amount
of food intake)
-point-tenderness of my right ribcage
(when giving pressure)
-discomfort on my upper mid to right
stomach (like having baby on my tummy
packed up tightly in my upper ab.)
-severe pain just below my right ribcage
after eating full meal (esp. Solid
fatty foods)
-severe pain of my back (from spots from
right side of my nape (back of neck),
above bra line, and especially just above
my waist and hips, sometimes up to my
right shoulder...
I've read lotsa stuff here online that
hida scan's their last test that can
detect and take away all the pain...
I've seen doctors:
4-gastro (3-in-1 team of endo unit where I
was confined for 3 days and 1 from another
hospital for second opinion), 1-cardio
(whom we consider as our family health
doctor), 1-ob-gyne, 1-neuro...
But they cannot give me an exact answer
why am havin' all these pain... Except
fuctional disorder.... Til the last
gastro i've seen, told me that no medicine
can cure me... Except myself, to face
the fact that I have gastro functional
disorder... Which couldnt be cured...
And that I have to deal with this pain
and discomfort for the rest of my life...
And that 60% of my life's a waste
now...
They've just given me a lot of pain
relievers, muscle relaxant, prevacid,
motilium and anxiety pills,...Which I
think wont cure me... But just help me
not to feel the pain and worry much
often...
I've read to so many forums here online
that in the usa, btw, am in the
philippines right now, people with the
same problem had undergo hida scan and
found malfunctions with their
gallbladder... So they had it
removed...
Am just so pissed off coz doctors here
maybe thought am just paranoid or being
"ms. Know-it-all" when am speaking or
suggesting about the hida scan... Coz
here in the philippines, they're using
hida scan (hepatobiliary scan) for infants
with biliary atresia... That they have
never tried it to adults for
gallbladder/liver diseases...
And not to mention, hida scan is only
available on 2 hospitals here... One
in manila and one in cebu.
Btw, i've been suffering for a year now
from this pain... And I also have
recurrent uti and slight scoliosis...
Please help me... I really need an
answer for this matter...
Thank you!

If you think it's your gallbladder, then
request a hida scan to be done.

Finally! Finally someone answered...
Thank you tamra renee...
Yesterday I went to a new gi which was
referred to me by a friend whom he himself
undergone gb removal (cause of gallstone)
and had bile ducts obstruction...
Anyways, the gi agreed to have me undergo
hida scan... But just for my peace of
mind...(meaning, she thinks that removal
of gb w/o stone is not necessary)
and she referred me to rehabilitation
center (i dont know what kind of
rehabilitation is that) for my chronic
neck and back pain... And she gave me a
new ob-gyne to check if I have
endometriosis... (i have read here that
there's a link between endometriosis and
gallbladder)
i hope this time.... I'll find a solution
for this terrible pain...
