What Causes Severe Pain Over Gallbladder Region?
I have been having severe pain over the gallbladder region. I went to the emergency room two nights ago and the doctor was positive I was having a gall-attack. I had blood work, ultrasound, and a ct scan. All of which came back normal however my pain is in that one area, severe, and constantly. I am scheduled for a HIDA scan tomorrow, but i have an shellfish allergy that requires the use of an epi-pen when come into contact. Will this test bring me in contact with shellfish, as the iv contrast for a ct scan would?

Hello,
Contrast material not prepared from shellfish so don't worry. For what doctor came positive? During the procedure if you have an allergy to contrast material means inform to your doctor.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
