Gallbladder problems

[elephant]

Had a Hida scan done on my gallbladder. It is sluggish. I have been having arm muscle pain and upper abdominal pain and decreased appetite. So will see what my doctor says about the results hopefully Monday. It's always something! But I am counting my blessings!

Are the walls thickened? Any sign of infection? Any stones?

The gallbladder scan was negative, but the Hida scan showed that my gallbladder was sluggish. They injected that radioactive dye in me and took pictures for one hour and the gallbladder did not show up. Then the guy wanted to give me morphine 3 mg and I said,"NO!" So I had to wait another two hour and get more pictures taken finally they saw my gallbladder. He said it was sluggish and could not give me any more info and to call me doctor for the info. So it will probably be Monday.

Why did he want to give you morphine? Is it a painful test? Maybe your gallbladder was playing Hida Go Seek?

Hi, I don't know what to say so I am just sending a real bearhug!!

Oh, I didn't know morphine did that. Makes sense. It gives me terrible migraines, which are liver-based in me. The only time I took morphine was during a kidney stone.
