Chronic upper abdominal pain

In June I started having left flank pain that would come and go. I then started having upper abdominal pain, right below where your ribs meet in the middle. (This upper abdomen pain has been a constant ongoing pain now since August.) I was sent to the GI Dr. in August who thought I had an ulcer. No luck with Nexium so she had an endoscopy done. The only findings were inflammation in my esphogus. The thing about the pain I have, eating and drinking does not affect it at all. But if I touch my abdomen it is very sore. All my labwork has also come back negative. I was sent for a ct scan to rule out a mass yesterday, although I still haven't heard about the results. So pretty much it can be summed up to a very tender spot on my upper center abodmen for months. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? Thanks so much!
(Other info about me.. I'm only 21, I am a very healthy eater, and generally healthy besides this.)

Hi M!
Welcome aboard!
(I also got my ct scan results today, the only unusual finding was a splenic pseudotumor. And that's basically an extra little spleen. weird.. So I guess it doesn't really relate to my current problem!?)
How over weigh are you? If you don't mind me asking..
