I just had a HIDA scan.
After the tracer was injected, it took OVER 4 hours for it to start to enter the small bowel. When it did, it was a trickle and it never really followed the bowel. Just a small portion picked up the tracer.
After 4 1/2 hours, the CCK was injected. It showed a 97% EF. During the CCK infusion, the pain and nausea was unbearable.
When I have the pain, it is ALWAYS in my URQ and intensifies for about 3-4 hours then it goes away. I experience this pain 2-3x a day. I don't eat much because I know it's going to cause so much pain and nausea. I am 5'4" and in Aug I weighed #119, now at the end of Oct, I weight #106.
The radiologist dictated that the HIDA scan was normal with an EF of 97%. He also dictated that activity becomes apparent in the small bowel after 65 minutes, which isn't true, it was 4 hours later that it entered the small bowel. Thankfully I have the images but I don't know what to do with them.
My family dr said it was normal and basically told me to deal with the pain, nausea, anxiety, and weight loss.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Or has anyone had similar results and if so, how did you handle the pain, nausea, anxiety and weight loss?
Thank you in advance.
