Its not gall stones then what is it??

[abbey369]

I am a 23 year old female, i have been having minor pains in my right side right in the middle of my ribs. I radiates all over sometimes down to the middle of my lower back sometimes to my left side sometimes to my hip and shoulder... w very intense neausea and sometimes vomiting. I went to the er and he dr made me feel like i was cray and just looking for pain meds.... the ultrasound came back normal so did the blood work, when i got upset bc they had no answers he said he could do a CT scan but it probably wouldnt show anything and i chose not to bc of all the radiation. now im in pain worried and getting no help from doctors, i for got to mention that the ER dr had a whole slew of tests until he was told i didnt have insurance or saw that i didnt have it and asked me so i of course i said no i didnt 5 mins later he comes in and says that there isnt any emergency i can go home,as i was laying there doubled over crying in pain....any opinions?!?

Hi.  I had gallstone blockage; didn't show up in tests.  It is the bile duct that gets blocked; there are various ways to open this up - if you have a good osteopath he can help manipulate it.  Epsom salt helps.  Anyway, you need to get some kind of gall or liver cleanse, masage the bile duct area to open up, then keep cleaning out.

I've had blood tests, urinalysis, X-rays of back and pelvic region, and ultrasound of back, side and pelvic region ALL come back negative.  My doctor is currently diagnosing it as "mild arthritis in lower back" and prescribing physical therapy.  

The discomfort I experience is very similar to gallbladder/stones.  The pain does not necessarily get triggered by eating food.  The discomfort will start in the lower back and right side of abdomen, then radiates to between the shoulder blades and even to the top, right shoulder for some sharp pains.  I am going to begin the physical therapy because I don't think it will hurt my condition, although I am still bothered by my dr's diagnosis thus far.

I have found out through alot of tests, and pain, vomitting and nausea that gallstones are not only thing that can be wrong with gallbladder, ask for a HIDA scan this shows function of the gallbladder.  Hope you got your issue solved, hang in there, there is alot of people suffering right along with you.

sounds like gall bladder pain, how are you doing now, many many folks get it, some have it removed but pain continues, some do well.
