A member asked:
Is an abdominal ultrasound a good test to detect ruq pain? i had a normal ct scan 6 months ago. i have untreated gerd and esophogitis? pain from that?

No: An ultrasound will detect gall bladder disease not the pain it produces. Treat your GERD and see if it helps.

Treat esophagitis: Esophagitis is often associated with gastritis which can cause your abdominal pain You should take medications for esophagitis.A right upper quarant ultrasound shows changes in liver, gall stones and sludge (if stones not calcified wont see on CT. Bile ducts are visualized as well as pancreas, possible pancreatitis. Right kidney seen as well.
