Sharp And Stabbing Pain In Abdomen Moving To Back On Movement. Tests Ruled Out Kidney Troubles. Is This Bile Duct Blockage From Gallbladder Surgery?

I have been having abdominal pain (sharp and stabbing) that radiates to my right side and back for the past 2-3 months. I have had two CAT scans, two ab and chest x-rays, complete blood work to rule out pancreas and kidney trouble. These done in the emergency room because I am without health insurance until Jan. 1 2014. I had my gall bladder removed in 2005. The pain is constant and intensifies upon movement. Surgery to explore the cause can not be scheduled until January. Over the counter meds are a real joke. Could the pain be scar tissue or bile duct blockage from the gall bladder surgery? Are there any other tests that the ER can run?

Hi.since you have consistant pain in the abdomen, you need to to investigate with radiological imaging (USG/CT/MRI) with biochemical correlation. Common possiblities includes renal stone, Common bile duct stone or pancreatitis.. USG is first imaging modality to go for. If required then go for CT/MRI (MRI/MRCP is better for CBD stone and CT better modality of renal or pancreatic pathology)..A complete and early diagnosis can lead u to best treatment with fast recovery.
