Ok, I have been trying now for about a month to get some diagnosis/relief for my syptoms...
they are as follows: stomach is hard- my family doc noticed this and ordered an ultrasound, everything showed up ok on it. My surgeon noticed the same thing and almost ordered a cat scan, I mentioned the ultrasound and he looked it up on his comp. as I had it done there, and he said yeah everything was normal, and ordered an endoscope.... I was seeing the surgeon because I had a HIDA scan and it showed my ef at 24% which is below the norm. He was reluctant to perform the surgery, he stated my syptoms: hard stomach, bloating, chest pain, difficulty in getting a deep breath at times... were a-typical and he could not guarantee that it is my gallbladder....I am worried about the hard stomach. I am a bigger girl, and there is some flabbiness there, but you can feel just a hardness all over my stomach area... my family doctor stated when he ordered the ultrasound that it could just be a fat pad, but I couldn't imagine it being hard like that.... should I be worried??

I just now made an appt. with my colon doc. as I do have ulceritive proctitis...I just want to figure something out SOON... I am uncomfortable all the time:(

any advice or information will help:) thanks
