Upper left abdominal pain
| Thu, 03-01-2007 - 10:24am |
Hello,
I have been having abdominal pain on and off for a few months now. Been on ranitidine, prilosec, mylanta. But it keeps coming and going. Now it feels like a pain usually in my upper abdominal area and to the left, where the rib cage meets and slightly to the left. I am so worried it's something very serious. Does abdominal pain that is persistent always mean it's something serious? Is it more likely something treatable? I am very anxious! I have an appt this afternoon with my doc. Hope she runs test or sends me to a GI specialist. Thank you for reading this.

I apologize for not getting to your post sooner. I had some health issues of my own to deal with.
What did you learn at your Dr. appointment? Was costochondritis brought up as a possibility? Here is a link to some costochondritis info...see if it sounds at all like what you are feeling...
