Pain on side after Endoscopy


Jane325

Recommended Posts

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. :/

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
