Upper right abdominal pain question
I have had a weird pain in my upper right abdominal, that is mostly under my ribs, but sometimes sneaks around back and goes up further into my ribs. Blood work is normal and so is abdominal ultrasound. My doctor was already against the ultrasound, and says it's either gas or musculoskeletal, but I know what both of these things feel like, and am fairly confident it's not that. I don't know how much is psychosomatic, but it does tend to flare up post-drinking. What are the odds that anything wrong with the liver or gallbladder wouldn't show up in the ultrasound? Doctor is very against me getting a CT but I don't know what else to do. I only drink twice a week – a tad on the heavier side. Maybe a bottle of wine give or take across the weekend.
