Hi.
Thanks for your query.
I have read the history and understood your concerns about not finding the diagnosis in spite of blood tests, CT scan (PCP, Surgeon and Radiologist saying hemangioma at the crown of liver), MRI to confirms.
You have symptoms of constant dull pain in the upper middle/right side of abdomen- 1 month like that of gall bladder attacks but less intense and ''constant''. (GB removed in 1998) It is frustrating, worrisome, feel lethargic, and sometimes nauseous (no vomiting- appetite normal), feeling like solution is not at hand, and worry that time is slipping away, something is missed.
Well, one of our Dictum is: if the routine is not helping you to get to the problem change the tract, change the thinking. Medical field is full of miracles and it is like a Pandora's box in many cases.
Hence my thoughts:
- MRI of the Spine, as the compression caused by the disc or some other pathology at the nerve roots or the spinal cord can cause such problems.
- Watch for post-herpetic neuralgia
- Costochondritis
- Sphicter of oddi dysfunction, but would cause spasmodic pain and not the constant dull pain
- Hemangioma is always benign and do not cause pain unless had leaked and caused the adhesion of the liver to the parietes.
- Colitis at the hepatic flexture too can cause such a problem.
If you can please provide me the really detailed history I may get more points to get a thought process more clear and towards a probable diagnosis. Give details about bladder, bowel, Backache, any change in life, stress, worried, any other history you may think is unrelated to the present problem and so on.
I hope this answer helps you, Please feel free to give all the feedback, ask relevant queries.
