Hi! I have been having a constant pain in right upper quadrant just below rib. I have had this pain for now 3 months. Doc has had me do ultrasound of liver gallbladder which was negative, I have had an endoscopy done because he thought it might have been a duodenum ulcer but it was negative, I been treated with one personal 40 mg a day Nexium 40 mg a day but nothing seems to help. The pain is dull achy but sometimes can be sharp and it sometimes radiates to the back right under my shoulder blade. I am scheduled for a colonoscopy, all my blood tests are normal and the doctor is at loss, next step would be a CT scan with contrast of abdomen and pelvic area. I am starting to get very worried and honestly don't know what could be causing this constant pain. Gallbladder was normal and no stones were noted. Is anyone experiencing something similar, I would appreciate any advice on the matter.

    Did you have a hyda scan? Also you could have passed a stone from your gallery bladder.

    Hey wondering if you found any resolution to your symptoms. i realise this post is old but your description of issues are identical to what i have been dealing with for over 1 year now.. I have been told i have IBS and Gilberts and that anxiety and stress are causing the pain (some reason i dont believe them)...
