I have Ulcerative colitis. While in remission, I had this terrible pain at the bottom of my breastbone. It was so very bad and I could get no relief. I had an ultrasound to find gallstones and they found none so they wanted to do a hydascan but I canceled because the pain went away. The only thing that helped was heat. It would get worse when I got angry. Very troubling. I had it when I was pregnant as well but it responded somewhat to antacids.
It takes a lot of perseverance to get a diagnosis sometimes and if you don't have the money for test after test then it can be just too hard.
Hi thankyou so much for helping. I will be for the 3rd time having yet another ultra sound in the morning and i pray they find something. If not then im not sure where to go to from here. Will let you know how i get on thankyou again .:-)
get checked for gallstones
