Lower right abdominal pain

[constatlyinpain]

I again have this mysterious lower right abdominal pain.  It's getting increasingly painful (especially if I move) yet I am not even close to going to the ER since each time I go for the same pain they do a CT which shows nothing and I'm out $100 co-pay.  I have surgery in two weeks to remove my gallbladder, but would this pain in the lower right quadrant have ANYTHING to do with my gb not working properly???

So,  how did it go?  Are you cured?

Guess I should have updated this thread again after surgery.  The pathology report came back and said that I was infact suffering from chronic appendicitis (I love when I'm right)!  I do still have the upper abdominal pain, especially when I eat.  When I say upper abdomen, I mean the whole thing.  All the way from one side to the other, as if following my diaphragm.  I know my spleen is slightly enlarged, and that I'm recovering from surgery, but I hope that one day I will once again be able to enjoy food or just life in general without some sort of abdominal pain.  It really is quite annoying.

I have a pain in right upper and low q. Also goes to back .i made all: ct, mri everything - all normal except a herniation of disc between l5-s1. I don't know  what I have and also my doctor. I still try to figure out what is happening to me. I had some medicines for kidney dar for nothing. I'm 34 ys old.

I didnt know that lower right quadrant pain can be a symptom of a rotten gallbladder. My IM and GI doctors have ran every blasted test on me including an EGD. Everything has turned out normal. Guess what? Im still hurting. The pain travels from my upper right quadrant to my lower right quadrant. I still dont know what it is. The GI gave me Librax( an anti-spasmodic) and Prilosec( a proton-pump inhibitor). The Librax doesnt work. Im still confused about why he gave me prilosec seeing that I dont have any symptoms of acid reflux dsease. My GI is getting an earful on Nov. 12th. I hope to God they send me to a surgeon. This stuff has been going since Aug. 2005. Have any advice!!!!

***UPDATE***
I talked to my surgeon about an hour ago, just before my pre-op testing, and he agreed to take out my appendix!  I am so excited now...this should take care of ALL of my abdominal pain!!!  (I hope!)
