doctor wont order HIDA after normal ultrasound
hello, i recently had an ultrasound and blood tests for gallbladder issues which both came back normal. however, im still having persistent right side pain under my rib which moves towards my flank and sometimes my back. as well as lots of stomach rumbling in that one specific spot under my rib after eating. the ultrasound for gallbladder was normal as were the blood tests. she’s now ordering h. pylori testing, and is going the G.I. route, even referring me to a gastroenterologist. i guess i’m just a bit worried because i expected to get a HIDA scan. although my pain has been on both sides of my abdomen and i’ve been experiencing more burping than usual, the pain is still persistently on my right side. i have a trip at the end of may, and i want to make sure that i don’t have a failing gallbladder in a foreign country. are there ways to get HIDA scans outside of your doctor? or should i be able to convince my gastroenterologist to schedule a HIDA before my trip?
