Piercing Pain Under And Back Of Rib Cage, Bloating And Pain In Stomach And Lower Back, Fatigue. History Of Diverticulitis, Breast Cancer. Possible Cancer?

I have a severe piercing pain just under and to the back of my right rib cage. I have also been experiencing some bloating and pain in the stomach, pan when sitting down and left lower back pain. I have had diverticulitis in the past and my last colonoscopy over a year ago produce one small polyp which was removed. I have no fever but have been extremely exhausted and weak for some time now. This scares me because my mother and grandmother had colon cancer and I am a breast cancer survivor. I currently don't have a doctor because my doctor quit and I've been unhappy with the care I've received lately, so I've been putting off seeing someone. My temp usually runs low 96.7 - 97 it was 98.1 last night.

Hi, it appears to be the gastritis, along with the gall stones, or pancriatis.
I advise you to consult a gastroenterologist for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have gastroscopy, and U.S.scanning for confirmation.
I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe omeprazole, domperidone , and antacid gel for temporary relief. Thank you.
