What Causes Pain In Right Side On The Back Region?
A few yeas back a drill bit broke off and impacted in my liver area, For days I struggled to breathe really thought i was going to die. Externally the bruising was from my liver chest and down my right arm. Since then I get recurring excrutiating pain in my back right hand side which puts me to bed for a few days. I have requested a cat scan what tests could I have?
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. Your symptoms may be suggestive of gallbladder stones so you should do at least ultrasound or CT scan to evaluate it more accurately. This is caused by stone in bile duct and is very common condition. Stones are see more commonly in obese people and those with diabetes. You need to change your dietary habits first. Need to avoid fried food, carbonated drinks, coffee, alcohol and spicy food. You should eat more milk products, vegetables and boiled food. If there is no improvement on lifestyle or dietary changes, then surgery is recommended. Other causes include pancreatitis or pleuordinia and should be considered if gallbaldder stones are ruled out.
