Pain on side after Endoscopy

Hi Everyone. I have been suffering from stomach problems for 5 years or so and recently had a blood test done. It came back positive for celiac disease.

Yesterday I had the endoscopy done to see if I am really a celiac or not. When I came home (and after I rested the Propofol off) I had a very strong burning pain in my stomach, almost like expanding heartburn. Luckily that went away but today I have a sharp pain on the right side of my chest and it slides towards my armpit. It comes and goes, but mostly happens when I inhale (not every time).

I called my GI doctor. He was kind of cryptic saying that I should come in tomorrow for a gallbladder ultrasound. I was taken aback and didn't question it but now I am wondering how could my gallbladder be affected? For what I see the gallbladder is way below where I am having pains, so not sure if that's what I need... I tried to call him again but he is out of the office now so I am left all night to wonder...

So my question is: have any of you experienced this kind of pain, or any kind of pain after an endoscopy? If yes, do you know what caused it?

See if you still have it tomorrow.  They put you on your side and you might have just pulled a muscle.  Yes, I know it doesn't feel the same as when you pull a leg muscle - chest muscles don't. 

Obviously - if you can't breath;  heart beats too fast, too slow, or  stops; you have paralysis, or your arm falls off - then go to the emergency room!

It's not a pulled muscle. It doesn't hurt if I move, stretch or reach out (tried all kinds of movements to see). It hurts when I breathe...

I was really sick for about a day after my endoscope-vomiting, aching all over, just feeling horrible. For me, it was the sedative because the same thing happened after my colonoscopy a few years back. They gave me hardly any, but apparently I am very sensitive to it.. 

It could be coincidence that your having this problem right now just after the endoscope.  I would go and have the ultrasound done.

Thank you for your reply. I'm really sorry that you had such a strong reaction to the sedative, it sounds pretty bad.

I also thought that the pain might be a coincidence but it was really coming out of nowhere... I woke up without the pain this morning and feeling quite OK. I called the doctor and his nurse suggested that I still get the ultrasound anyway just in case so I agreed... but it turned out that I couldn't have anything to drink since last night (my doctor told me I should fast but that it was OK to drink) so I couldn't have it done today.

I was feeling like 90% until I went out to do some errands and started feeling horrible, a mix of allergy and flu-like symptoms. I have back pain, super heavy body, runny nose, sore throat and pain in my ears and was really light headed/tired. So I am just taking it easy for the day now. The GI asked me to monitor my symptoms during the weekend and call their emergency number if I got worse. :/

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped".

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood t...

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
