Upper Right Quadrant Chronic Pain

Upper Right Quadrant Chronic Pain

For 3 years I've been suffering from problems.  It started from gall bladder disease.  I never really healed after that.  I got better diet wise but within 6 mos. the pain (in the same spot as surgery got worse). For the last 13 months, I've been on major narcotics to manage the pain. They have done every test possible and all come back "normal". The only thing they haven't done is go in and look.  For that, there doesn't seem to be a doctor willing. They say it's pancreatitis.  While I do have symptoms of chronic pancreatitis, there is something about the pain that doesn't add up.  I can't find help anywhere.  The pain is so debilitating that I've now lost my job and health insurance so no doctors will see me at all now.  Not to mention, I can't afford the pills when we are losing our home.  I suspect I herniated the area where they did the gall bladder surgery before it healed.  Are there any tests that would show something like that?
