Medical Forum / General / General / September 2006Upper stomach pain
On June 16, 2006 I went to the emergency room with upper stomach pain, it felt as if someone was punching my intestines. The ER ran a CT on my abdominal area and could not find anything wrong, they sent me home with pain medication. The pain is still in the upper portion of my stomach, I have had pelvis CT scan, gallbladder scan, and ultrasound on my stomach. All have come back fine, can anyone help me out? The pain is not always there, it has been off and on for 2 years, it feels like a bruised rib, but when it really acts up it feels like a punch in the side. Marvlisa, I am not making light of your pain, but could it be a gas pain? Does it follow or precede a meal? If it is meal associated, what food is it? The same one each time? Always milk for instance, or always wheat products? Perhaps it would help to keep a diary of when it comes, what is going on, what you have eaten, etc. Good luck, Jackie > On June 16, 2006 I went to the emergency room with upper stomach pain, it > felt as if someone was punching my intestines.

Jackie- I do not drink milk, and I am not sure about the wheat products; sometimes the pain comes without food in-take. That is a good idea about keeping a diary of what I eat, and when the pain comes and goes. Thanks for the advice, MK >Marvlisa, I am not making light of your pain, but could it be a gas pain? >Does it follow or precede a meal?

Keep also a careful watch on alcohol & coffee! > Jackie- > I do not drink milk, and I am not sure about the wheat products; sometimes [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >>> acts >>> up it feels like a punch in the side. Did they check for h. Pylori? Pancreas tests? > On June 16, 2006 I went to the emergency room with upper stomach pain, it > felt as if someone was punching my intestines.

I am scheduled for a consultation with a surgeon on Tuesday Sept. 19. The surgeon will be able to review my test results from the CT pelvis/abdomin, ultrasound, and gallbladder test that were performed previously. I am not sure what they will send me to do next. Someone else mentioned a colon detox, have you heard of this? >Did they check for h. Pylori? Pancreas tests? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >> acts >> up it feels like a punch in the side. |
