Lump On Chest, Painful, Have Systematic Gall Bladder Disease, Elevated Liver Enzymes. Advice?
I have a small under skin lump on the right side center chest. it is extremely painful and a stabbing sensation all the time. I have been diagnosed with systematic gallbladder disease because I have extreme pain in my right side upper abdomen after eating anything. I have elevated liver enzymes but no indication of gallstones. CT scan , HIDA scan, and ultrasound found no problems with the organs. The pain worries me as only liver enzymes are elevated. any advise?
Do a chest xray and continue with your medications of elevated liver enzymes.If any abnormality on Xray then treat accordingly however if normal then consult a surgeon regarding the swelling.
