What Causes Pain Around Gallbladder?

My 25 year old son has been having severe pain around his gallbladder. His father had the same exact pains 2 years ago and needed his gallbladder removed. My son has been to the emergency room, a different hospital, and 3 different doctors and they all say he s too young for gallbladder problems. What do we have to do to at least have it checked?! He s been on Dexilant for months and is now on Sucralfate. NOTHING HELPS!

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Need to get a ultrasound abdomen done all with biochemical enzymes study.
2. Gall stones could be common cause. Hemogram for evaluation of hemolytic anemia is necessary. If hemolytic anemia is present, pigmented stones can be noted.
3. For now, antispasmodics like dicyclomine could be helpful.
4. Further opinion based on ultrasound and hemogram findings.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
