Suffering Ongoing Right Abdominal Pain Radiating Under Breasts, All Tests Are Non-conclusive. Any Ideas ?

I have been suffering ongoing right abdo pain since before Christmas 2012. I describe my pain as follows: right in the middle of my breasts, radiating underneath my right breast, more increased pain down my right side, radiating into my stomach, going through into my upper right back / shoulder. I have been back and forth to the doctors. I've had numerous blood tests / stool samples / 2 ultrasounds, the first one came back inconclusive, and I was told that maybe I had a non-functioning gallbladder, the second one came back completely negative, nothing wrong at all, no sludge, no stones, gallbladder looked healthy etc. I've also had a gastroscopy which returned negative results too, everything absolutely fine. I'm now currently waiting for a follow-up appointment with my consultant, but I get this pain pretty much every single day. It only occurs at night time, anywhere from 6pm onwards, and always lasts anywhere from 4 - 8 hours. I take 2 buscopan, 2 codeine and 2 ibuprofen, but these only really take the edge off and I think they just end up knocking me out. I can't lie down as the pain increases when I do so have to sit bolt upright. As the pain always appears more so in the middle of the night I am not sleeping at night. I have a 4 year old son to look after, and at the moment, with this pain, my life is pretty much hell. I don't know what to do anymore. The consultants secretary said the next appointment she could get me was 21st August, which means another 6 weeks of pain before I get to see the consultant again. I've said that this is now not good enough and I can't be expected to suffer every day with this pain, not sleeping etc without it being sorted. Please, any ideas, is there any light you could possibly shed? Thank you. AAAA

HI
Thank for asking to HCM, I think x- ray of chest and abdomen would be of great help, get it done, keep a record of body temperature 4 hourly, even minute degree of rise in temperature matters great, and last test would be ct scan,, something will come out in these tests,, Have good luck.
