Opinions Please

[Guest guest]

I am a 37 yo female and have been experiencing some symptoms that

I'd like some advice on.I am guilty of years worth of fast foods and

fries and feel it may be early gallbladder disease,although tests are

negative.

My 2 biggest concerns are:1) the sensation that I am being poked

in the ribs on the right side and 2)waking up in the morning with

terrible rt side/rt back stiffness and soreness.

I don't have any nausea or vomitting,but occaisionally have

sharp rt side back pain after a high fat meal.I have also experienced

1 episode @night of rt shoulder/clavicle pain,an occaisional

sensation

of a " tightening " below the sternum and on right at ribcage junction,

and seem to experience lots of little back muscle spasms(not painful)

lasting only a few seconds.Also one episode in middle of night ,my

stomach blew up full of gas,and gas pains so bad almost passed out-

finally after an hour of walking -they subsided and I was able to pass

flatus/BM.

Doctor said liver function tests,abd. ultrasound,and UGI-all were

normal.Although my chol was 204(not fasting)-he said ratio of

good/bad

cholesterol was fine.Next step would be to see a gastroenterologist

I am putting it off as they probably want to do ERCP-which I'd rather

avoid. Also Dr.put me on Nexium x1 week and zantac twice per day.

Do any of these symptoms sound familiar, in view of fact that

clinical tests are negative for GB?I am contemplating trying the

liver decongest and GB flushing-would appreciate any opinions-thanks.
