Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been having dull pain in my upper right quadrant of my abdomen for more than a month now on and off. I have had an abdominal ultrasound and CT scan with contrast and they can t find anything. I had my gallbladder removed in 2009. It s very irritating but doesn t stop me from my day. My Dr. office said I should see a surgeon for a possible hernia. I don t understand what a surgeon will do that hasn t been done and I am not ok with having surgery unless it is absolutely necessary. I would appreciate any input that any of you has as to what I should do next with regards to Drs. and additional testing.
