Update to upper abdominal pain
| Wed, 03-07-2007 - 5:42pm |
See my post under Upper Left abdominal pain. I was experience this pain for weeks/months. It seemed to even be getting worse. I went to my doctor and she referred me to a Gastro specialist but in the meantime she prescribed Aciphex. I had already tried 150mg of Ranitidine 2x a day and Prilosec but neither took away my discomfort. Well, I've been on the Aciphex for 5 days now and the stomach pains are gone! I still feel a bit of discomfort in the morning when I first get up but that's it. I am so happy and relieved!!! I'm still keeping my appt with the Gastro so I can put myself at ease that it's nothing serious. (I have health anxiety and these pains were really freaking me out!) Anyway, just wanted to update anyone who's interested. Hope all of you are on the road to recovery as well!

Yay, pain relief is always worth celebrating. Thanks for the happy update, but definitely keep the appointment with the Gastro doc. If the Aciphex is working, great, but better to still see the other doc and make sure there is nothing else that needs to be looked into.
Keep us updated and enjoy the relief you are experiencing!
