LOL..Clarify....Re: Pain on right side...Appendix??

[Guest guest]

LOL!! Some of you wrote a bit confused... I am having a

colononscopy AND the procidure where they run a light down the

throat...I think it is called endoscopy but not sure of the name.

Not pleasant to think this is going to be done on Monday..in one end

and out the other.....Yuck..lol!

I feel I need the test where they go into the belly button and look

around...this is what the gyno suggested to the gastrologist but I

have no idea why he is doing all of this other stuff instead because

the the belly button test (sorry I don't know all the names of these

precidures)is the test that the gyno explained to me that would make

more sense in dignosing the problem...They have checked my liver...I

don't have a gall bladder and I was diagnosed with pancretitis last

year but have not had problems with it since the first attack. This

pain is radiating in the lower right belly. Each time I am told the

pain is right where the appendix is but CT scan show nothing wrong

with the appendix. I am at wits end!

I had many many many test..blood and etc.
