Hi,My name is .I am a 30 yr old mother of three.I just recently

joined the group and have spent some time reading posts.I would like to

share my story in hopes that some of you may give some input on whether

or not you have had any of the same symptoms.A little over a yr ago I

started having discomfort below my lower right rib.I was also suffering

from heartburn at the time.In time the pain became more severe and

spread to my lower back and right shoulder.I had been to the doctor for

something else when i mentioned what was going on she said it sounds

like your gallbladder.She sent me for an ultrasound of my gb.The

technician told me that my results were sent right to the dr and that

if i didnt hear from them by the next morning to make sure i

called.Five days later i finally got a call back and said it looked

fine and asked if I was still in pain.I was so I was sent to a gi

doc.They also said it sounded like gb but since my ultrasound was

normal (only because i told him what other doc said)he wanted to go

down my throat with a camera.He found I had acid reflux and a hiatal

hernia.Since then I have been on nexium and many other stomach meds.I

still have heartburn although the heartburn attacks themselves are not

as bad.The pain in my side continues.sometimes i go a week or two

without it other times it lasts for days.I am at a point right now

where it has been for days.I am also starting to get burning on left

side under ribs.I know this is long and I apologize for that but I

really hope some of you will write back and let me know if my story

sounds familiar.Thank you for your time-------------
