Biliary Pain or Colic
The mildest and most common symptom of gallbladder disease is intermittent pain called biliary colic, which occurs either in the mid- or the right portion of the upper abdomen. Symptoms may be fairly nonspecific. A typical attack has several features:
The primary symptom is typically a steady gripping or gnawing pain in the upper right abdomen near the rib cage, which can be severe and can radiate to the upper back.
I still can't understand why I have biliary colic symptoms. I eat a very healthy diet, consisting of chicken,turkey, without skin fish especially salmon, tuna, sardines. I eat a lot of fresh organic vegetables, and fruit. I don't drink soda, only seltzer and a glass of red wine with my dinner, only have egg whites. I use extra virgin olive oil, take vitamins, do exercise every day. I'm a healthy women and ever had any problems with my stomach.
Hello,
From the symptoms that you have mentioned, the first possibility that comes to my mind is gall bladder colic or biliary colic. It can be due to cholecystitis(inflammation of gall bladder) or gall bladder stones. I would suggest an ultrasound abdomen to confirm the diagnosis. Other possibilities are irritable bowel syndrome, hepatitis(inflammation of the liver), kidney stones, pneumonia, musculoskeletal pain, lower rib fracture and malignancy.
The primary symptom is typically a steady gripping or gnawing pain in the upper right abdomen near the rib cage, which can be quite severe and can radiate to the upper back. Some patients with biliary colic experience the pain behind the breast bone.
Nausea or vomiting may occur.
Changes in position, over-the-counter pain relievers, and passage of gas do not relieve the symptoms.
Biliary colic typically disappears after 1 to several hours.
In february 2010, i got a severe pain under my right ribs, radiating to my back, lasting a couple of hours, it displayed typical symptoms of biliary colic, without the vomiting or diarrhea etc. so i went to the doctors the day after, and they diagnosed me with IBS.
Since then ive had blood tests, an ultrasound, and everything appeared to be fine.. no gallstones, kidney stones, or any abnormalities in any organs.
they are saying that i might have something called biliary colic have you heard of that please let me know cause i am really scared.
//www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1121646/ Biliary colic and gallstones resemble the symptoms you mention. Same place, same pattern of pain/discomfort. Here's another article with some ideas about what to do. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/320442 Basically, cut down on calories, fat, carbs. Sigh (no fun!).
The reason I ask is because the gas pain that you describe sounds like biliary colic, which causes pain like a steady gripping or gnawing pain in the upper right abdomen near the rib cage, which can be severe and can radiate to the upper back. Some patients with biliary colic experience the pain behind the breast bone. This is typical in gall bladder inflammation.... this symptom is usually less frequent than weekly and the return of the symptom can even be years apart.
I had my gallbladder removed 5/5/09. I had one attack of biliary colic before the surgery. After the surgery, I took a while to feel better, even had another attack of biliary colic - post-surgery. I have to be extremely careful what I eat. I had an upper endoscopy today. I have erosive esophagitis and will start taking Nexium in the morning. This is all very frustrating. My gastro gave me Miralax to try and I ended up with a severe reaction to it. They called it hypocalcaemia(?
Hello,
A clinical examination and wok up is important for confirming the exact cause of your symptoms. Sludge is a mixture of bile, mucous and tiny bits of cholesterol-based and calcium-based particles. People with sludge may be asymptomatic or may have tenderness or pain in the right or upper abdomen .In few cases the sludge may resolve itself. However it can also lead to other health issues like gallstones, pancreatitis, cholecystitis and gallstone-biliary colic.
I have been having night time pain, just to the right of my belly button, on and off for almost a year now. The pain is sharp, burning and very intense. I can wake me up from about 1am to 7am and usually last an hour and a half, during which time there's no position i can lie in that alleviates the pain.
When it first started i had it every night for 4 weeks - completely exhausting. But now it's probably once every ten days or so. Sometimes its moderate pain, sometimes its severe.
s not like an EGD where a doctor actually takes a scope and looks at your esophagus and your stomach. Gall bladder or biliary colic attacks can be set off by spicy foods - HIDA scan with ejection fraction is one of the better tests for diagnosing gallbladder problems. An MRCP is good for looking at all the biliary ducts and pancreatic ducts as well. Pancreatitis can also be very painful and make you feel sick.
Recently pain has developed in upper right side of stomach and has affected even my left side. A colic type of pain.
Another blood test was taken as a follow up from the one taken a week ago. Results are pending. A CT scan ( abdomin / pelvis ) scheduled for July 31st.
Waiting for confirmation appointment with a Gastroenterologist, which I hope will be soon.
They normalised a weeks later but then I was diagnosed with gallstones/cholecystitis and each time I get biliary colic attacks they seem to be raised (ALT and GGT).
They were raised prior to the Hep C test and have been raised again since, following a bad attack of biliary colic on 23rd Jan requiring hospitalisation again (AST, ALP, GGT raised – ALP and AST were not raised on previous occasions to my knowledge).
Gastroscopy showed h pylori gastritis and a presence of excess bile in the stomach. Triple therapy antibiotics prescribed (lansoprazole, amoxi and clarithromycin), he says he feels a lot better, but i'm worried sick. He says he still gets an ache but it comes and goes and is not constant, he says that certain foods seem to make him feel worse, am I right in believing you can eradicate the h pylori but the gastritis takes time to heal?
Few patients with biliary colic may have pain behind the breast bone, nausea, vomiting etc. Ultrasound or other imaging techniques can usually detect gallstones. You may take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen or naproxen. A personal history and physical examination form mainstay of diagnosis. Hope it helps.
Best wishes and regards!
Hello,
There are many possibilities to your symptoms.Upper right abdominal pain can be caused by biliary colic, cholecystitis(inflammation of gall bladder), irritable bowel syndrome, hepatitis(inflammation of the liver), kidney stones, pneumonia, musculoskeletal pain,lower rib fracture and malignancy.Irritation of the nerves supplying this area can also cause pain.Irritation can be due to nerve compression or pinching due to any spine related pathology.
Hi,
Did they say on your ultrasound if you had any stones in your gallbladder? It sounds like a biliary kind of pain......I would research some biliary diseases like biliary dyskenesia and sphincter of oddi dysfunction.....suggest these to your doctors if you think the symptoms sound like what you're going through.....
when i had my gallbladder removed (open op) i was on a morphine pump for 12 hours post op.
pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), kidney stones, an ovarian cyst or an ectopic pregnancy. Biliary colic or gallstones. Cholecystitis or inflammation of the gallbladder. Duodenal ulcers
As you can see its important to know whats really causing the pain and thats what the scans will help determine for the physician.
My gyn said there is no way it could be related to fibroids given the location of them on the uterus and said that endometriosis is not likely given that I have the mirena. She told me it is likely biliary colic that could be triggered by hormones and referred me to gi. Has anyone else experienced this? I am desperate for answers. How could something hurt so badly and no one have any idea what is wrong?
