Hello,
I been experiencing lower right front rib and right upper back pain on and off for6 months. I've had a HIDA scan completed which said my gallbladder was functioning normally (normal biliary to bowel transit time and no evidence for cystic duct obstruction). In addition, I've had a ultrasound of the abdomen which said that the gall bladder was within normal limits with no wall thickening or pericholecystic fluid. I've also had a CT scan done of the abdomen which stated that my gallbladder was physiologically distended. When I my primary care Doc saw the CT results, his opinion was that the gall bladder should come out, while my Gastro doc said it should stay in. Primary care doc says the pain is caused by IBS whereas the Gastro doc doesn't have an explanation. I should mention that I do not experience any sudden discomfort right after eating. The pain comes and goes during the day, while lately, it seems to be all the time. Is my gall bladder problem causing this and should it come out? I've had blood work done (CBC, LFT's, Sed Rate and all results were sat.) Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated
