Hello, if you still have pain, please don't feel a nuiscance, docs would rather speak to you for 5 mins to resassure you or even refer you to someone who can talk to you, than you sit worrying.

No one knows for sure how long this crisis is going to happen for, please don't suffer in silence, any reasonable doctor will be happy to resassure you if you are in pain.

Hi,

I know this post is old but wanted to see how you are getting on? 
 

I started getting abdominal pain on the right side, I had an ultrasound that said I had gallstones but they said they won't remove my gallbladder yet as it's not inflamed. 

I started getting pain in the left side now (right side has gone unless I eat fatty foods) aswell as a weird pain in the middle of my back 

i ended up in A&E in agony twice in 3 days, all my bloods have been normal, 2 stool samples that were normal, they did an ECG which was normal, chest x ray which was normal, they did a CT scan with contrast of my abdomen which again was clear. I had a Endoscopy as I was having some issues with my throat for about 2 years that again was clear.

I have spoken with my doctor who says its GERD and to follow a low acidic diet and take medication but so far it's not helping, I really don't know what more I can ask? I suppose it's a good thing that all my scans are clear but I have such bad health anxiety it makes me worry especially when you google your symptoms. 

Did you manage to find a diagnosis? 

Hi,

thank you for your concern. I am really sorry to hear you are having similar issues and are obviously worried. They removed my gall bladder when it wasn't inflamed. I just had a large gall stone, the pain in my left side eventually went. Still no idea what that was. I have recently had pain again on right side where gall bladder was but have to have regular liver function blood tests as I was put on statins for cholesterol and I think they have to keep checking your liver. I have had a few abnormal results but the last one was normal. 
Last summer my health anxiety was at a ridiculous level. It was controlling my life. I was so down but couldn't stop myself googling and convincing myself I had a serious illness. I spoke at length to my doctor and for the first time they prescribed sertrolin antidepressant. It is only a low dose but has worked wonders. I also did a 6 week online consultation for health anxiety which was again brilliant. This was free and with PTS. 
I still have bad moments and if I start to google manage to convince myself something is wrong but, (fingers crossed) it doesn't take over. 
I really hope you are ok

So glad to hear you are okay. 
 

the last few weeks my health anxiety took over me I wouldn't eat without feeling sick couldn't sleep and when I did was waking up in the middle of the night sweating. 
 

slowly I have started getting better, your symptoms were the only one I found online on a forum that match mine so wanted to check how you were. 
 

I'll go back to my doctor and see if they will refer me to get my gallbladder removed, maybe get a second opinion if she refuses as she's always very dismissive with any issue I go to her with. Maybe it's that what is causing the pain. Will definitely look at the online course I think that would be very beneficial.
 

Thanks so much for replying
