Is It Normal To Have Pain Under Rib Cage After HIDA Scan?
I had a hida scan this morning for my gallbladder. My question is this - I started having severe pain in my abdomen and under my rib cage while they were performing the test and have continued to have pain for the last 7 hrs since they stopped the procedure. Is this normal to have that type of pain and for that long after test was completed and does this mean there may be something wrong with my gallbladder?

Hello, welcome to HMC
Thank you for posting your query.
HIDA SCAN do not cause pain under the ribs. It is most likely to be cause for the diseases in gallbladder or in liver. Possible effects if this scan are allergic reaction to radioactive substances, pain at the site of injection and rashes.
Hope i have answered your question if you have further questions i will be happy to help.
