Not uncommon: Abdominal pain during pipida or hida scan usually related to hormone cholecystokin cck injection. Sometimes related to speed of injection but other times related to gall bladder disease. Some people with irritable bowel syndrome also get pain from cck. Symptoms and results of test are usually correlated for presence of gall bladder disease by your physicians.
