my abdominal ultrasound

@happyat76...I have a very similar problem. My doctor told me my ultrasound results didn't really show any problem with my gallbladder, although it feels like something is spasming in there every once in a while (given hyoscamine for that) and I have fairly constant right upper quadrant pain. I also can get midline stomach pain, like a stinging pain (given Tagamet for that-I had been taking Ibuprofen for a low back and hip problem). I get the occasional twinge of pain in the left upper quadrant. Once in a while I have pale-colored stool. My doctor has now added Cymbalta for nerve pain in my hip. She stated the ultrasound did show liver enlargement and fatty liver. Since I do not drink alcohol, I have a NASH diagnosis. I am overweight and need to exercise. I am being referred to a gastroenterologist, also. Hopefully, I will get some more concrete information from him. All the best to you, hope all goes well.

@nina9, Good Morning and welcome to Connect. I want you to feel assured that you are not alone with questionable / confusing symptoms. I have some experience with liver health due to a history with a different liver disease. I also was sent to a gastroenterologist (GI) who was able to diagnose and to monitor and provide for my treatment plan.

I want to share the following links where you can learn more about non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. I hope that you find them helpful as you prepare for your appointment -

When is your appointment?

Thank you so much for your reply and welcome to Connect, Rosemary. I certainly appreciate the time you have taken to send those links to me. I will be seeing the gastroenterologist in a week's time. I hope to get some answers from him. I had labs drawn today and have signed an authorization for all my records to be released to the doctor. Fingers crossed! Thank you once again for the links. I have found them to be very helpful. Have a lovely day. All the best,
Nina

I had never known anyone else who had their gall bladder removed and continued to have pain. I have all kinds of tests done and everything is normal but about ever six weeks I have a week long episode. Hard to live with.

Only thing I know for sure is to avoid high fructose corn syrup. It can cause nonalcoholic fatty liver in some people.

Hello @cherokeetwin and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, a community of members connecting on a variety of health topics and conditions to support one another. You seem to have experience with this topic. Do you, or a loved one, have fatty liver?

Hello @gingerqueen

You might be surprised to learn that many people who have their gallbladders removed still continue to have pain. Hee is a link to a discussion about that very topic, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/pain-at-old-gall-bladder-surgical-site/

Here is another website that may offer you more information, https://www.healthline.com/health/gallbladder-removal-side-effects#side-effects

I'm wondering where your pain is located. Are there any foods that seem to trigger the pain?

Did you have open surgery or was your surgery laparoscopic?

I have several right ups on pain after gallbladder. I had same thing but it started a couple of weeks after lap surgery to remove it. I took cholestyramine resin, took one packet a day, it is powder in the packet. I took one box and a 50billion probiotic urgent care Flora....it got rid of it and I have never had it back. In Ontario you need a prescription....try it! You have nothing to lose.
