Have been having stabbing pain on the right side of my stomach which radiates to the back. Also loose stools. Pain comes only in the late evening and lasts till past midnight. Unable to sleep. Did blood, urine tests and x-ray. All readings normal except White Blood cell count shows 11.6. Ruled out kidney stones by doctor. Prescibed with spasmoliv and damotril but not effective. Also took charcoal tablets. What should I do Doctor?
Hi ! You have not mentioned if an ultrasound of abdomen was done as an investigation for you or not. If negative, then I would suggest you to go for it after consulting your family physician, as a gall stone colic can also give rise to such pain upper abdomen radiating to the back. The raised white blood cell count may also point to some kind of infection in the body, and in your case, we can think of cholecystitis or a pancreatitis. Your family physician may also take help of some blood tests like serum amylase, and serum lipase to exclude this. If he symptoms are increasing, I would advise you to go immediately to your doctor, and get yourself treated at the outset. Wishing you an early recovery.
