lilbear1978 , fever means most likely infection somewhere in your body.The region of your body where the pain is could possibly be Gallstones or Liver inflammed. Find another doc, thats way too long for a fever (nov7) harry!!

Go to another doctor !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A little Liver inflammation is not nornal (hepatitis?,cancer? etc,) What was your liver enzymes? (blood test) also did he ultrasound the Gallbladder? Again go to another DR..or the ER !! Best wishes !! harry!

Definetly get your gallbladder checked out. I have galstones and that's where it hurts on me. In the meantime I recomend going to your local healthfood store and getting some MSM, flax oil, and epsom salt. If the problem isn't your gallbladder those things won't hurt you anyway. Take all as directed on the packages. MSM is an enzyme that apparantly your body needs, but isn't in most of the foods that you get. I don't know a whole lot about it, only that when I was taking it I was much better and now that I've quit I'm getting bad again. Flax seed oil worked wonders too, it keeps things flowing smoothly in your body. It's choc full of omegas. Epsom salt relaxes smooth muscles and helps me when I have organ pain.

Does the pain get worse if you get really hungry, or a bit after you eat? Does it feel swolen? Is it tender to the touch or when you move, or just generally painful?
