    Persistent Pain in Upper Right Abdomen – Hernia in Abdominal Wall?

    Interesting that it was worse during your pregnancies. Although this would be a very atypical presentation, you may want to consider your gallbladder as a cause. It does “act up” during pregnancy. And ultrasound may show no gallstones but a HIDA scan may show dysfunction of the gallbladder, in which case removal may cure your pain. The sphincter of Oddi may also be dysfunctional or in spasm.

    Just a wild thought. Possibly too wild.
