Radiating Stomach ache

I'm hoping someone can help me or give me some suggestions as to what to do. about 3 years ago I was having some really bad stomach aches, I was diagnosed with an Ulcer. I took Nexium and it worked great. Well after a few years I stopped taking it because my insurance changed and it got to expensive to buy the presp. Then about 3 months or so ago I started getting Bad heartburn again and stomach pain on my left side Right below my ribs toward the middle of my stomach. I went to the Dr. (differant Dr ) and he took about 4 Seconds with me and told me it was acid reflux. And put me Back on Nexium. Well the pain and heartburn went away Great. Then about 3 weeks ago I ran out and didn't have the extra $$ to get a refill so I went about 3 weeks without my Nexium. I started getting the stomach aches and Heartburn again. and got a refill about 1 1/2 weeks ago and took it again. But Now i'm having a differant kind of Ache in my stomah and side. It feels just like when you get a Stitch in your side from running. It radiates down my side into my back. It's not a continual ache it comes and goes. and it doesn't really "Hurt" so much as it aches and has that Stitch feeling. Could this be my Ulcer and me needing my meds changed? or somthing else to worry about? Thanks
