[|Human|] I am a 53 yr old female. Dr xrayed me for constant stomach upper region pain. She said she does not like the way my bladder looks at all and ordered a cat scan. My insurance would not cover and I dont know if I should just go to the er or find another radiologist. Have been on Subutex for 5 years and am afraid surgery pain will not be able to be treated. I had an bowel obstruction years ago and almo s t died. Im scared.
[|AI|]  Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. I would rather advise you to consult another radiologist after getting yourself clinically examined by the ER doctor or your family physician. Opinion regarding bladder or any other viscera might not be practicable by a simple X-ray of the abdomen. This would need an ultrasound/CT scan of the abdomen to arrive at a diagnosis of a pathology in an intra-abdominal organ. However, a good radiologist could fairly have an idea about it by a simple ultrasound which would be much more affordable than a CT scan. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
