Re: Tests, Tests, and more Tests!!!

Hi,

You may have read this before, but it bears repeating...you could have

gallstones in spite of the fact that they did not show up on your

ultrasound.

One other thing. There could be several reasons for shoulder pain,

other than GB or liver problems. For example: your shoulder pain could

stem from nerve pressure in your neck(caused by a previous injury)

which has radiated to your shoulder. Have you ever injured your neck or

shoulder? Most problems have been years in the making.

I would think that when you had your GB tests done, your doctor would

have also done a blood test? There are blood tests that reveal liver

problems, at least if the liver problem is severe.

In the midst of a painful GB attack, the blood test I had done in the

emergency room showed normal values. So, blood tests are not

necessarily definitive either, in diagnosing a GB problem, unless you

are severely ill with a fever or infection.

Just my thoughts,

Adrienne

I just want to get my GI Tract back to normal. I am going to ask my

doctor to order a liver function test next. One thing I might add is

the fact that the first time I did a flush and got stones out my

right shoulder was very sore afterwards almost like I had moved some

ancient stones that had been clogging something and then it had to

heal because the stones were no longer there. The reason I think my

should pain is liver and gallbladder related is because exactly where

it hurts is where it had a warm sensation after my first flush.

Another thing is I get these tingling sensations in my upper right

back and shoulder area shortly after I have eaten something this

almost has to be something to do with biliary tracts and gallbladder

I would assume. I'm just looking for answers wonder how many people

on this board have had problems with there gallbladder that were

never confirmed by a Cat Scan or ultrasound.
