Painful Upper Abdomen, Kidney And Pancreatic Area, IBS, Severe Pain. What Is The Diagnosis?
Im 32 Years old. For about 6 months now i have bben have sudden pain especially at night in my upper abdominal, pancreatic area accompanied with pain in the kidney area on the right side. I went to the er twice and i get discharged with no real diagnosis. Primary doctor said it was irritable bowel syndrome but those medicines are not helping me and the pain is coming more frequent. I barely eat anymore from pain and the flare ups went from 1 to two nights a week to 4 to 5 nights awake from severe pain. it helps sometimes when i take advil but even water by mouth hurts when I have pain. I also have now been experiencing pain in my collar bone and it worsens when i breathe deep. It comes on suddenly.
Hello Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have either stone in the kidney or ureter or Chronic Pancreatitis.
It needs to be evaluated thoroughly to establish diagnosis by following investigations. 1) Rourine urine test and urine culture done to find out the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to. 2) Ultrasound scanning of the abdomen. 3) C.T Scan of abdomen with oral contrast study. 4) Stool examination 5) Upper G.I endoscopy.
Please consult qualified General Surgeon /Gastroenterologist for clinical evaluation and further treatment. Dr,Patil.
