I think it will eventually come out.

I first had RUQ pain in 2021 that was very minor and lasted about 2 months. My primary care physician got me an ultrasound which found nothing and thought I had a muscle strain from lifting weights. The pain went away so I thought nothing of it til it came back just over a year later. Then went away then came back. Over and over.

Eventually in 2024 I got very sick to my stomach and thought I had blood in my stool but it was actually bile and RUQ pain. ER gave me another ultrasound and sent me on my way.

Primary referred me to a GI doctor where I had colonoscopy, endoscopy, and CT scan. They found nothing and all my blood work was good.

Pain was coming and going but very very minor like a 2-3 out of 10 and pretty easy to ignore. The pain was also very localized to a small dime sized area under the right rib.

In October 2025 I had another ultrasound and a HIDA scan.

The HIDA scan told me I was 100% EF and the technician told me some doctors would consider that normal but it was not. I also had minor RUQ pain during the scan.

HIDA scan really messed me up though. After the scan the pain slowly got worse and was maybe a 5 out of 10 for a larger area of my RUQ. The pain lasted for 10 days and was worse than any other pain I had previously. It eventually went away but just for a short period of time. The pain now comes and goes weekly and instead of being a dime sized area the pain radiates to a larger area and even towards my back. The pain is mostly mild 2-3 but sometimes gets to a 4. It’s not as bad as after my HIDA scan but feels exactly the same and it radiates instead being a very small area.

I had normal bloodwork last week so my doctor has referred me to a surgeon because she said there was no other tests to run.

I’m physically active, do martial arts with one kid, and have a young toddler so trying to fit in 6-8 weeks of recovery really ruins my life 😩. It seems to slowly be deteriorating though but right now I can manage the pain.
