Please Help!! Pain 24/7 Gall Bladder? Posted: 04-13-07 19:26pm
Okay this is my story...for 7 months now i
have been dealing with this pain under my
right side of my chest. I am about 98%
sure now it is my gall bladder.
Before this thing started i was a size 15
and weighed 180 pounds. Since this thing
has started I am now 7 months later size
1/2 and 130 pounds.
All my tests have come back that nothing
is wrong with me. Seen every doctor known
to man and they wont' do anything because
all the tests come back that everything
was okay.
One test though, nuclear test..the guy who
was doing it concluded that i had an
overactive gall bladder. But the guy who
read the thing said nope everything is
perfectly normal.
On a good day my pain is between a 7/8 but
can go as high as a 12 on a scale of 1-10.
No medications work...not pain medicine,
not muscle relaxers.
I am about at my witts end. I don't know
what to do! I AM NOT doing anything to
lose the weight, no exercise, no dieting.
But i can only eat very little because
about 10-15 minutes after i eat it
aggrivates it. And tests on my stomach
came back all normal, back end is all
normal too. kidney, no stones, intestines
all good. liver perfect.
I have been getting for the past 3-4
months where i feel like i am gonna faint,
but i don't...is this do to the pain, i am
not sure.
Please anyone with advice i would really
appreciate it!
I do not know what to do, been to 3
different hospitals and way too many
doctors and all of them have given up on
me.

Im sorry to hear you are in so much pain.
You must be fusterated with so many Dr's
giving up on you. Is it possible to see a
specalist or a different specalist in the
field. Im sure you have tried all these
thing but im not to sure what else to
suggest.
Good Luck

I have three suggestions:
The first is to locate a
gastroenterologist who specializes in
liver diseases. Perhaps they need to
repeat the Hydascan.
The second is to ask your doctor for
referral to a pain management specialist.
Even if you have no diagnosis, you still
have pain. Patients have a right to
appropriate pain control. A pain
management specialist can help find a
combination of meds and treatment that
provide relief.
Last, you might think about contacting an
acupuncturist for assistance.
