It wasn't my gallbladder

[spirit3]

I'd posted my question about undiaged RUQ pain-every test under the sun had been done: all normal. After 3 weeks of this I was frustrated and in pain and was referred to a surgeon-he found that I had unusually highly placed endometriosis and i'm having surgery soon for removal. Sometimes you just need to find the right dr and don't give up till someone listens to you instead of just saying "well, I don't know-your tests are normal!" Also, educate yourself and asks questions.

i have similar undiagnosed health problems like you. Had gb removal too thinking that was the problem.Just wondering who referred you to a surgeon and what type of surgeon and how did they diagnose exactly endometriosis elsewhere in body ?I have ruq pain, diarea, sternun and rib pain also painful ovulation pain w sex. Sometimes i have had painful ovulation etc for most of my life.i have been to a rheumatologist cardiologist gastroenterologist .no one can give me any accurate help. they tell me it is either ibs cfs fibromalagia.i have had ct endo colon u sound xray of ribs chest barium swallow  & bone scan

I hope that your surgery was the answer to your pain and that you'll never look back!

I wish you well

Had my surgery yesterday and already notice a marked difference in the pain I was experiencing. The pain I had was in RUQ and radiated to my back and sometimes down my leg, that's gone, it's now exclusively @ the surgery site. I saw the endometriosis tissue they removed in the recovery room and am extremely hopeful my issues are resolved. Best of luck to everyone else in this forum, and don't give up hope! The right doctor makes all the difference and you are your best advocate.

I am very happy to hear that you have found an answer and that removing the endometriosis clears up your pain

Warm Regards
