Mid Upper Abdominal Pain
| Thu, 07-01-2004 - 1:40pm |
I posted a couple months ago about the pain and I am still having it. I have had many tests done since then. It is almost like a tightening feeling in the upper mid abdominal region. It helps when I lie down or sit back- worst when I am standing. I have had an endoscopy, upper GI, blood work and am so fustrated. My doctor put me on Robinul Forte(2mg) twice a day which really helped for 2 1/2 weeks. All of a sudden a couple days ago the pain started coming back. Started out mild and increased over a few days. Medicine now does nothing. I do have IBS but I would imagine that the pain wouldn't be that high up and wouldn't last for days. I sleep great, wake up without pain and then it starts up right away. Sometimes I wonder if it is in my head! Could it be stress. Doctor seems to think that if meds don't help I will just have to live with the pain. Sounds terrible to me!! Anyone else ever had this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. This has been going on for almost 4 months. Thanks, Adrienne

Hi Adrienne,
I am sorry to say that I know your pain all to well. I had it before my gallbladder was removed back in Jan of this year. The pain went away for about two weeks after the surgery, but it did return much to the dismay of my Doctors.
