What was a result of HIDA scan?
i got the HIDA scan already
taliaes,
her is my opinion:
I don't see the reason why you'd need the colonoscopy at this moment. Not even one symptom goes with some colonic disease.
Discolored diarrhea is from BLOCKAGE IN THE BILIARY SYSTEM, it is definitely not from the colon.
Here are your symptoms:
thick saliva, car sickness, occasional vomiting, right upper abdominal pain and discolored diarrhea.
You have to finish the gallbladder part of investigation first. All symptoms and all your history speak for gallbladder. Again - gallblader itself may be pretty intact, but the narrow bile ducts can be easily blocked with a small stone or fibrosis or tumor. This usually CAN'T be detected with ultrasound, CT, MRI, maybe not even with HIDA, but with ERCP.
Please, can you go and get that HIDA scan? Can you? Go personally there and demand it.
***YOU ARE IN URGENT SITUATION, you can't lose time now.*** Go to the hospital, go somewhere, where you will trust doctors.
i spoke wth my parents and they decided that they want me to go through with the colonoscopy bc maybe it could rule out some stuff. they never ruled out the gallbladder. the pain is in the same place but just lately more increasingly painful. i have no appetite and have had in exchange nothing to eat all day. i do not know what to do i am waiting(again) for the doctor to call me back so that i could let him know that i have a new symptom of discolored diarhea. thank you though for the advise i really appreciate it and take it all with me when i go to the checkups with my doctor. the pain is under my rib cage on the right side and it shoots sometimes through to the middle of the stomach and sometimes to the back where it literally jolts me in pain. i am trying my best to hold my own
thank you once again
ERCP is done only when a blockage in the bile tract is suspected, so I doubt they did it on your previous endoscopy. ERCP is never done during a routine endoscopy.
If they "ruled out" the gallbladder, this does not include the bile tract. Ultrasound can't detect small stones or stenosis in bile ducts.
Where is your pain now, does the location change?
