Really bad stomach pain :(
| Wed, 06-15-2005 - 7:55pm |
I have had this horrible pain in my stomach for about 5 years now... when I first got it I went through a bunch of tests... ultrasound, ct scan... and I took prilosec (they thought it was an ulcer) and nothing helped and they didn't find anything.. recently it has gotten a lot worse... It is ALWAYS in the same place, slightly to the right of my left rib cage... and it feels like a burning sharp pain... It hurts more when I am hungry and when I have to go number 2 (sorry TMI I know!!!) I don't want to have more tests done until I know what it could be..... My previuos dr thought I might have IBS but I have read about IBS and this doesn't sound like it... its not cramping.... its always in the same spot....Any advice??? Thanks!!

Hi Lynn! I am going to sugguest to the doc that this be the next step... but it would be the one that goes down the throat and not up the bottom. Maybe it has something to do with my gallbladder.. I will have to do some more research on that... I will have to recommend that GI specialist too... Thanks for the input! I have an appointment tomorrow morning so hopefully things will go well!!

Kelly,
Don't be surprised
Ok So I went to the Doc this morning... he sugguested I get an endoscopy... which I was going to get anyway... So I am getting that done next week.. I really hope my insurance covers it! I have to check when I get home... He thought maybe there was something wrong with the lining of my stomach or I have a hiatal hernia? I do get acid reflux a lot but I am pretty sure that is not what is causing the actual pain.. Thanks guys!!
