50%+ on gallbladder ultrasound but test caused pain?!
Question: 50%+ on gallbladder ultrasound but test caused pain!?
I had my ultrasound (I thought it was going to be a HIDA scan but I guess not) today of my gallbladder!. When they injected the dye into me, my aches became pressure and pain in my RUQ area and the behind my breast bone and in my upper back!. It made it hard to breathe for the duration of the test!. The pain intensified after about half way through the test!.!.
BUT!.!.The tech (not radiologist) said "well to ME it looks like it emptied at least 50%, so it looks fine!. No stones!. Bile duct looks fine"!.!.!.
Then what the HECK is it that would mimic gallbladder pain and would induce pain during a gallbladder test if the gallbladder is fine!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
Sometimes the testing does not show all of the disease of the gallbladder!. I still think a HIDA scan would be a good idea!. The ejection fraction % of your gallbladder is an important factor!.
If it walks like a duck and quacks, it more than likely is a duck!. If it seems like gallbladder symptoms, it probably is the gallbladder!. Sometimes there is sand-like material that does not show!. We do gallbladder surgery all the time on folks with negative ultrasound results!. A lot of times, We find the disease once we open the gallbladder itself after we have it out of the body!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
