Gallbladder pain - go to ER?

[Anonymous]

If she's having acute symptoms and high abdominal pain, I would go to the ER. The problem is gallbladder attacks and other very serious conditions share symptoms and whole sure, you probably know it's her gallbladder, you don't want to gamble on missing another serious issue like pancreatitis.

I am the PP with 10 years of gallstone pain and two clear ultrasounds. GI told me after the fact that something like 10-20% of the time they cannot be visualized on ultrasound.

Not to scare you OP but we thought my 20 yr old had gallstones (based on symptoms) and it ended up being a massive clot in her IVC (inferior vena cava) It was found from a thorough abdominal ultrasound and then verified by CT scan at ER.

It's good that they are doing the clot test. Often they don't.

She should go to the ER.

I was septic by the time I went. I don’t recall anything for several days. I almost died trying to not ruin Christmas.
