Severe Back Pain, Shoulder Pain, Stomach Pain (Gallbladder)

[jmadzula1]

Hi there,


  For about the last year and a half, I have been having back pain (mostly lower right side) that goes up into my right shoulder, as well as stomach pain that sometimes is right below my right rib or on my left side.  I had a colonoscopy done, which revealed a polyp. I had an upper endoscopy done which revealed crystals on the biopsies that they took.  The ultrasound they did after they found the crystals was negative.  My dad has a history of gallbladder so I was wondering if you think this could be the cause?  I am scheduled for a hida scan soon, so I am anxious to talk with someone before then to hear their thoughts.  

About once a week, I have VERY bad diahriah then right after I vomit.

I've got all of my pathology reports with me if needed.

Thank you

This sounds pretty much negative. Time to get a gallbladder out.

Alright, I will talk with the doctor.

Thank you.  Will update anything new on here.

HIDA Scan came back with an ejection fraction of 82% and no other abnormalities...

I don't think the doctor is going to do anything from here on out now with those results.  

What should I do doc?

Were any of your symptoms reproduced when they infused the CCK for the HIDA test?

Yes, I got nausea and the abdominal and back pain.  It went away though, its not like it lasted for a while like it usually does with
