Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had upper right side pain that comes and goes but has been getting a little worse. It radiates to my back at times. It is tolerable with advil when its bad. I have had a ct scan with contrast and ultrasound and blood tests done and all have come back ok. Do I need to worry about my liver or gallbladder since these have come back ok. The next test they are going to do is a HIDA scan. I am a 44m not very active with a desk job 6 3 215lbs
Your USG and CT scan is normal. Here liver problems and gall bladder problems seems to be less.
You can have simple colitis or ulcer.If colitis seems bacterial then antibiotic needed. Omeprazole also can be taken. If symptoms increasing endoscopy useful. It may show suspicious area and for which biopsy can be taken to rule our microscopic colitis.
Here you can have simple abdominal muscular strain by heavy weight lifting or excess exercise .Simple analgesic and hot compress can be useful.
The ribs can be affected by costochondritis that can lead such pain.The ribs are painful to touch.analgesic and rest will be useful.
I hope you will recover soon.
Wish you good health
Regards; Dr.parth
