Right side pain

Right side pain

I have has right side pain that started about 6 years ago right under my ribcage about where the gall bladder is.  It was constant but pretty local to a small area.  Over the years it has grown to all over the upper right side at times.  Front to back but mostly on the front.   I have noticed also now I burp more and of late seem to get more indigestion.   I have seen 3 gastrolgists and had every test you they could recommend except a liver core which the doctors don't want to do.  3 CAT Scans,  Sonagrams, Camera down thru the stomach, Gall bladder test, Colonoscopies, Chalk up my intestines and no one can find anything.  Everything I read says some sort of gall bladder or liver disease.   It seems to be getting worse.  Does anyone have any advice.

       Thanks

Welcome to the gastroenterology community!  Have you had any bloodwork done?

My general practioner looks at it every 3 months and says all levels are fine.  I am not sure what is actually looking at though.
  Thanks

I would recommend asking your doctor for some more in depth blood tests.

Thanks I will do so in my next visit.   Is there something I should specifically ask about that you might know of?

The basic labs would be a CBC (complete blood count), BMP/Chem 7 (basic metabolic panel), LFT's (liver function tests), amylase (pancreatic emzyme), etc.
