Avatar f tn I did an endoscopy which showed no stomach problems. I did a CT scan which shows I have gallstones but no major problems with gallbladder. There is no pain on the left side of my abdomen. I continued to be in pain so I was sent for an MRI which also did not show anything alarming except that I have gallstones. The Dr says he does not see the reason for my pain.
Avatar f tn they needed to do an MRI to diagnose it as a hemangioma. There is a radiation risk with CT scan. Maybe you should ask if you could have an MRI, it is safer....
Avatar m tn Is it normal to have that much bowel gas that the abdominal aorta cannot be seen. I still have pains in my abdomen. Should I ask for a MRI or CT scan to further investigate my pain?

Avatar m tn At the same time that this started we had just purchased a new house and moved in. None of these symptoms really presented prior to the move. We immediately went into construction mode and it became a very stressful project. When the symptoms cleared up in September I attributed a lot of it to stress from the move and construction. However, now that they seem to be coming back I'm not so sure.
Avatar f tn My gallbladder completely quit working and it took 3 months of agony to figure out what was wrong. I had the HIDA scan done and it shows every issue that is wrong. I had my gallbladder taken out 2 weeks later and it solved that horrid rib cage pain. Good luck.

Avatar n tn They have done an upper endoscopy, CT scan of the abdomen and MRI b/c they found a benign lesion on my liver during the CT scan. I started to notice my symptoms were cooinciding heavily with my menstral cycle. My doctor checked some hormone levels and low and behold there were abnormalities. My prolactin is 165, normal isn't above 29 and my cortisol is high as well. I just had a brain MRI to r/o a pituitary lesion/tumor. They did not find one....

Avatar n tn s not a pretty though but closely looking at your stool and noting your frequency of going can explain alot of things when you have Gastro problems.
Avatar f tn I had an ultrasound scan last week for possible gallstones, no gallstones were found but the scan showed up I have a liver cyst and now my doctor is referring me to a specialist. Why is he referring me if he doesn't think it's anything to worry about? I am in panic mode.
Avatar n tn Low ejection fractions can also be accompaned by gallstones in some individuals although in others gallstones can be absent. Depending upon what you're experiencing, your doctor may recommend the removal of your gallbladdder.
Avatar n tn My recent HIDA scan indicated a low functioning gallbladder. I also had an ultrasound which showed no indications of inflammation or stones. It could be that your gallbladder just isn't doing its job.
Avatar n tn Initially I had difficulty eating, so my Dr. order a CT scan (middle of September) of my abdomen and pelvis, but it came up negative, besides some constipation. Since then, I am able to eat, but when I do, I tend to get the pain frequently in the same region. Other symptoms I have noted: occasional tightness up into my anterior neck region, occasional increase in heart rate (noticed this when I was running around the bases at my husband's softball game), fatigue. My Dr.
Avatar f tn pylori (which was found before the gallstones were). The first ultrasound showed innumerous gallstones in my gallbladder and 17% EF on HIDA scan. The second ultrasound showed no gallstones 6 months later and 64% EF on HIDA scan. I want to make sure that this is not a gallstone, so I can cross this off my list of possible causes. My gastroenterologist said it's probably air and to ask the radiologist, and the radiologist would not comment and told me to ask the gastroenterologist.
Avatar f tn Last ER doc said ulcer but could have been a gallstone stuck. However, none of these docs are sending me for MRI and/or ultrasound. Insurance covers both and I want the more definative to define sludge possibiilties (MRI) over the ultrasound.
Avatar f tn acute, which comes on suddenly, and chronic, which is longstanding and persistent. Gallstones are the most common cause for both types. Recurrent episodes of gallstones lead to thickening of the gallbladder wall and make the gallbladder less effective at removing bile and other substances. Ultimately, the condition may become chronic. I would suggest posting on the MedHelp "Gallbladder Community" where there may be people family with cholecyatitis. Good luck to you and your mother!
Avatar n tn What are symptoms of gallstones? I have taken two test, an ultrasound that says I have gallstones and a CT scan that says I don't. Which one is more reliable?

Avatar f tn So, the pain can be your gallbladder - does not have to be stones. After the results of the HIDA Scan, I had surgery within a week to have my gallbladder removed. Hope this helps!
Avatar f tn been to the doctors they are testing my urine,then a possible ct scan on my kidneys,she dont think gallstones but maybe kidney stones i will keep you up dated thanks for the information guys
Avatar m tn Hi I'm 17 and i just recently had my gallbladder removed. Prior the surgery, I've been having on and off pain for over a year. I have been to multiple doctors with out any diagnosis. Prior to surgery I had a CT scan which came back normal, which i found strange. The doctor sent me home leaving me with out a clue. After a week i had another attack. I researched endlessly until i can across gallstones. When i returned to the doctor i mentioned an ultrasound to check for gallstones.
Avatar f tn The third point is that these folks generally hold up a handful of green stones that they fished out of the toilet and state that these are the gallstones that they have purged from their systems. These have been analyzed and have nothing to do with gallstones. What they have done with the acid/oil trick is turn their GI tracts into soap making machines. You will notice that there is no one out there pushing gallbladder purges that shows a pre and post-purge ultrasound to prove it.
