Hi! Welcome to health care magic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible. First of all, it is sad to know what you had gone through.

Based on the history you have shared, it seems as if you have tried quite some options already so it's better to get it evaluated properly by a detailed abdominal examination by your primary physician and ultrasound abdomen as well as blood workup with liver function tests and serum amylase. The pain can be due to gall bladder or liver so it should be ruled out. Meanwhile continue antacids and pain killers like tramadol and acetaminophen and avoid heavy, spicy, oily or greasy meals. Take soft diets for few days. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Hope this has answered your query, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.
