Abdominal and hip pain, nothing found on scans

Posted by bennyj5986 @bennyj5986, Dec 19, 2023

So I'm in a medical dilemma. I have pain in my right side abdomen and hip that gets worse with activity and sitting down/leaning foreword. Laying down seems to be the only thing for it. When not in pain, there's a tenderness and numbness in my right side hip/abdomen area, and it comes with random bouts of diarrhea and sometimes constipation. Several scans have found nothing, I've had a few CT scans of my abdomen, hip and pelvic X-rays, an MRI of my lower back, and no doctors can find anything. Has anyone else had a similar experience and can point me in a different direction? I've talked to a GI, general surgeons, a couple neurologists, an orthopedic, and been to the ER twice over the issue only to have them say they can't find anything.

Hi, I have also been having right sided abdo pain for years ,steadily getting worse but nothing on my ultrasound or ct scan.It doesn't affect my hip.It is now extending from my pelvis to under my ribs and worse after meals. It's a medical mystery. All my blood tests are OK but I did have low vit d and low potassium for many years.

I am guessing that your gallbladder has been checked but you can have gallbladder disease that doesn’t show up on ultrasound or CT. Ask dr if you can get a Hidascan. It shows whether your gallbladder is functioning properly or not.
