Going For Ultrasound Today - Liver & Pancreas Disorders Message Board

Hello,

I've been tested for Hepatitis and it was found negative (A,B and C). There was some question about gallstone issues from a surgery I had last year that sometimes require removal of the gallbladder.

At first I was experiencing pain behind my right shoulder, but not so much anymore. Now I'm starting to feel it on my right side and sometimes lower down. Sometimes lower in the back.

I asked the doctor why the ultrasound, and she said something about checking out ducts or something. There was also a small mass on my liver, but the blood test didn't show anything about a tumor.

Is this gallbladder or something else?

Not enough info in your post.

Blood test never indicate absence/presence of tumour.

Which liver enzymes are elevated may indicate whether the problem is likely to be with the Liver or Gall Bladder/Bile Ducts.

Right side pain could be Gall Bladder/Liver/Kidney or just colon spasms (as In IBS).

ps> I am not in the medical field. The above info is just from what I have come to understand from researching on the internet about my problems.
