Gallbladder pain is usually on the right side. Have they ran function tests on the Gallbladder? I had pain episodes & went to ER 4 - 5 times last year. Images taken never showed anything. Finally saw a surgeon who said that images don't always pick up everything. The pain disappeared after I had GB removed.

Hi, Have read your story (and many others here) with much sadness. So hard to be in one's golden years and in so much pain and discomfort. I had similar issues that went undiagnosed for years. One day an old friend of mine suggested I try her chiropractor. Seriously. And I know that not all chiropractors are the same, but this guy really helped me, even though I was skeptical at first. I have other comorbidities, but when this particular issue rears its wretched head, I now know what it is. I visit this amazing chiro. once a month now for maintenance and have been greatly helped. Apparently one's muscles involuntarily tighten up as a means of protecting the bones. And when this happens, nothing, helps to alleviate the pain. The chiro also told me that sometimes gentle heat can help. Just a thought......
