I had a Hida scan that showed 23% function - no stones & surgeon is basically leaving it up to me if I want to have the GB out or not!

I get RUQ pain and pain in back like a kidney inf. type pain- I have IBS also and was told I have this "syndrome" where the urethrea gets inflamed...I get burning, frequency and no bacteria-guessing this is like an Intertial Cystitis? All the pain, bloating, etc seems to all be linked somehow - has anyone experienced this? Can they be linked???

Welcome kriggybeth!


Here is some info about IC, but I am not familiar with any link between the two conditions.

Are you having a lot pain from the Gall Bladder? Why was the HIDA scan ordered?


What type of doctor has diagnosed the three...IC, IBS and GB issues? Are you seeing specialists for any/all of them?
