gallbladder polyp?

Question

would a polyp on my gallbladder reveal the same pain as a gall stone i hade a hida scope today and the tech said it was normal

Answer 1

Ok so I'm only 15 and I'm having gallbladder problems also. It first just started out kind of hurting, but then it became more intense. It's been going on for four months now. (Started in August) I have had two CT scans, seven X-Rays, one scope, one barium test, one ultra sound, blood work done many times, and now have to have a hidascan done. They have no idea what's wrong. I have been to many doctor's inclueing Uof M. I understand the pain you're going through, and the fear.

My pain is in the middle of my stomach, more on the right side, right under my rib cage. When I get an attack it lasts anywhere from a couple minutes, to hours. Than I have pain in my back right shoulder. It hurts so bad it takes my breath away and takes me to my knees.

I hope everything works out for you.
And I'm just letting you know that you are not alone with this battle. Even though it may seem like it.

Merry Christmas.

Answer 2

I have a gallbladder polyps and have been told that an MRI scan can tell whether it is cancerous or not. I am not feeling ill at all and for this reason have been advised that if MRI confirms non malignant then an ultrasound scan every six months should determine whether it has grown and if so whether another MRI is required. As this is causing me no problems I am happy to go along with this. I hope you are not feeling ill - if so I would have gall bladder removed.

Answer 3
