The heart burn and acid reflux was back, the stomache pain was almost unbearable. After the Hida scan I had pain in left and right side under my rib cage. Miserable heart burn that nothing helped and extrem nausea to the point that I couldn't eat.
I will go see this specialist. But to be honest, I have had enough. If he doesn't give me a resonable answer, I will stick to my diet and enough will be enough! I am tired of docs. and Hosp. tests ect...
I have been experiencing pain in my right side at the bottom of my rib cage for the past several months. The pain gets worse after I eat certain foods, and worse when I am sitting down or lying on the right side. When I am sitting it feels like something is squeezing my rib cage very tightly. The pain sometimes radiates to my back and up to my shoulder blade. When I lay on my back I sometimes feel a squeezing, contracting,sensation. The pain is almost always present it just varies in severity.
I had an upper endoscopy done and that revealed mild gastritis and showed bile in my stomach. I continue to suffer from pain in my upper abdominal right side, just under my ribs. The pain is a gnawing sensation that radiates through to my back (in my ribs). When my back becomes affected by this pain it feels like a muscle that had been torn. At times the pain will radiate to my mid-lower right side with a stabbing sensation.
There are a variety of reasons for upper GI pain after eating, including, GERD, an ulcer, or inflammation of the upper digestive tract.
I would consider an upper endoscopy, or upper GI series, to evaluate.
If negative, a CT scan or ultrasound can be considered to image the liver or gallbladder. If the pain localizes to the upper left quadrant, the CT scan would be able to image the pancreas and spleen as well.
Hello,
I have a consistent pain on my right quadrant side. It has been almost two yrs this pain started. Doctors have ruled out kidney stones, gall bladder. I cannot lay on my left side because it makes the pain worse. Sitting is very uncomfortable. It feels like a deep pain. It is annoying. Gastro Doctor this morning said it is probably related to liver and linings. So when I lay on my left side, my liver moves or pulls. To diagnose this, they would need to insert a scope in my liver.
I tried eating some cheese dip a month ago and woke up in extreme pain on my right side that spread across my stomach, threw up and had to go to the ER. The dr swore it was my gallbladder but all tests (blood, ultrasound and HIDA scan) were normal. I tried eating 1 cookie 2 weeks ago with my egg whites and woke up with the same pain just not as severe but I didn't throw up this time. Now I hurt all day long (right middle side).
I know what kind of pain you are talking about as I had the same kinds of attacks for years after eating, especially when I would eat chicken. I thought it was my gall bladder but all the ultrasounds I had never showed any stones. Then a few years back it I was having them more often and I finally went to a surgeon who examined me and said he thought it was definitely a gall bladder problem and did the surgery.
you're welcome :)
actually that suggests still a galllbladder issue.. basically the gallbladder helps break down fatty foods or oily foods...but when it's really mesed up - any food and it'll bring on pain, especially if you have gallstones.
It could be infection..food poisioning..or ulcer..there's a few it could be but the pain in the upper right after eating suggests a gall stone. Probably need a ultrasound to check.
I have been dealing with a lot of discomfort on my upper right side of the stomach, under the ribs. I wake up feeling normal, but shortly after having a bowel movement, or eating, the ache comes on. I tried two antibiotics, bactrim and cephalexin. Only Bactrim gets rid of my symptoms. I tried two courses: one for 10 days and one for 20 days of Bactrim DS taken twice a day, and both times I was symptom free for the durations of the treatment.
I have been experiencing abdominal pain on the right side for the past year. The pain starts directly under my right ribcage, radiates around to back. Occasionally I have pain between the shoulder blades and up right clavicle area. I have not had a normal bowel movement for approximately 3 months. Generally I have a need to go to the bathroom shorting after eating. The bowels are on the soft/loose side. Occasionally they have been light yellow/green in color, but not always.
Hello,
Gastritis can cause pain in the upper abdomen after eating .Peptic ulcer disease causes upper left quadrant pain that usually begins 2 hours after a meal. It gets better with over the counter antacids. Stomach flu can cause indigestion and abdominal discomfort. Viral gastroenteritis can lead to nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. The exact location of pain and other details will help in determining the accurate cause .Take light meals. Avoid spicy fried foods.
of severe heartburn but only on the right side of my esophagus (nothing in my stomach). I also burp after eating anything, sometimes uncontrollably. I often feel as if I have a very tight rubber band around my midsection just below my sternum. I can usually feel my pulse in my gallbladder area. I have no pain below my belly button. I have tried several antacid remedies, vinegar, and baking soda but there is no relief. I have also tried one month of Losec without results.
In 2008, I went into my doctor's office due to a number of gastro symptoms. Those visits yielded the following results:
- Malfunctining gallbladder (low HIDA score + stones)
- Gastroparesis
- GERD
- small sliding hiatal hernia
I also complained about postprandial back pain in the mid-left back (right about where my stomach and pancreas would be), but was told this was related to my gallbladder.
Last year I had my gallbladder removed.
