I'm going in for a HIDA Scan today and I'm pretty nervous. My doctor said that the test is non-invasive, just quite boring as it takes 2.5 hours. After doing a bit of research online I've learned that there is a bit on pain involved, sometimes severe, once the CCK is injected. Can anyone tell me what to expect when I have this scan done? What does it involve exactly? I was only told that I would be receiving an IV and that scans would be taken of my Gallbladder and that's it. Is this all it involves?
I'm really nervous that the test is going to come back and say that my Gallbladder is functioning normally. I want it to say that it isn't so that this nightmare I've been living in for 2 months can be over with.
