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

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.

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

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

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
