I've had kind of a gnawing right upper quadrant pain for quite some time now, but I ignored it because that's how my hiatal hernia was diagnosed so with increasing heartburn, I'm not really too worried. I work in the emergency department and have seen plenty of bad gallbladders--you're right, I feel like I would be in more pain than this. The bad thing about working in emergency is that you don't want to go in for nothing. Not that I'd go in for this, I'll wait to see my primary care doc. I'm not eating much, but it's not like I'm wasting away. Saltines and water settle well--my pregnant school friend and I can snack together.
