What Causes Severe Pain After Treated For H Pylori Infection?

I tested positive for h pylori 2 years ago. After taking antibiotics for 2 weeks I tested negative but the pain is still here. The pain radiates from my stomach to my lower back, underneath rib cage on left side and in my left hip. Is this a combination of sciatica too or additional symptoms from the ulcer

Hello,

lower back and hip pain have nothing to do with your ulcer. It could be a prolapsed intervertabral disc applying pressure on a nerve root, as you've implied in your question but I can't confirm or exclude it. A good clinical examination and radiological tests (at least an X-ray of the lumbar spine) are needed.

Continuing abdominal pain after treating the stomach is a good reason to investigate the gallbladder, if you haven't done so already. Sometimes pain from the gallbladder may resemble to pain from the stomach.

Contact me again, if you'd like more information or clarifications.
Kind Regards!
