So on Sat I was on here complaining about stomach pains right......

Well lastnight they got really bad so I had DH take me to the ER. Well they checked my U/S that I had on Friday and said everything looks fine! So the did a CT scan of my stomach and well nothing so since they could not find anything wrong they chalked up to heartburn ( I know what heartburn is and its not even close!) So now I have to go back to my Reg DR just to start all over again!!! Needless to say I am still in pain and they have no cause for it and so I guess at this point I will be suffering forever now! I was just bawling the whole way out of the hospital and the whole way home then went and cried my self to sleep. ( The dr was kind of a jerk to me acting like I was making all of this up and then telling me I dont know what heartburn is and that it can be right where my pain was, ( it was just above the belly button and down!) so who the heck knows)

that sucks! I hate when docs just blow things off.

I also responded on Sat, but I think you need a nuclear medicine GB scan.  Also called a hida scan, pipida scan, or cholecystography.  Even though you don't have any stones, your GB may not be functioning properly.  I'm a nuc med tech and we do these all the time.

I'm so very sorry they treated you that way.  I had a similar experience at a hospital.  I had an ovarian torsion and the ER doctor was acting like I was exaggerating and sent me home.  I finally got in to see my regular dr and I ended up having surgery that day.

After that, unless I were really dying, I think I'd avoid the hospital and try to hold out to see my regular doctor if I ever had to again.

I hope you get some answers!

Well I will see what happens next the ER doc said I need to go see a Gastroenterologist  (sp the sp cam up but I copyed it from my paper) And they will go from there. Do I as my reg dr about these GB scans or what?

That sucks. After my c-section, i was in so much pain. the doctors were like "it's a c-section infection" even though I told them my incision and such felt fine. BUT they didn't hear me when I said I hadn't pooped for 2 weeks. I was impacted and finally diagnosed myself and demanded an x-ray.

make sure you bring an advocate with you to the hospital (friend, DH, etc.) who can be a bulldog.

Yes.  You can follow up with your regular dr and he/she can order the GB scan.  Is it worse after you eat (particularly something fatty)?

nessamestreet

No it just comes in waves weather I have eaten or not! Its been going on since Fri night, I really havent eaten anything fatty. I have been trying to watch what I eat lately to see if it help with the Sh*ts KWIM?

I had my DH there and he was all pissed off at the dr and the dr was like I could admit you but its not medically nessesary but just for pain management and I was all WTF?

Then the ER doc is an idiot.  People are admitted all the time for pain management and to perform other tests.  If it's not your GB then I think you need a upper endoscopy done.  My mom's GB scan was neg, but she had a scope and had H. pylori (bacteria) and an ulcer.  A year last her symptoms came back and it was her GB which she had removed. 

 Sorry and I hope you get some answers soon.
