When dull ache comes by it's own, swelling also feels. Mostly after eating. Only right side a particular area. Blood tests.upper endoscopy mri abdomen and ultrasound done. Only showed gastritis and erosions in endoscopy. Others normal. Took medicine for gastritis. But the pain never goes away. Why what to do. First delivery was breech. Second after 1.5 years. Why this permanent pain
Brief Answer:
Most probably costochondritis or muscle pain.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
With all the information you have provided I would like to think of costochondritis as the most probable cause.
Please give some feedback:
Does the pain increase after stress and anxiety?
Or when you have viral like symptoms?
Or when you have exhausted?
Any medicines that help to reduce the pain?
Are there days when there is no pain at all?
Any other information please.

Does the pain increases with stress and anxiety or when u have viral like symptoms or when you have exhausted.?
I think no. I don't know exactly.
Any medicine help to reduce pain.
No. The pain always there when ever pressing. Rightside stomach below ribs near hip. But I think the discomfort triggers by it's own after food , work or sometimes without any reason. Noticed before 6 months. Sometimes pressed the pain radiates. Some times presses only very mild pain.some times presses more pain . When discomfort occurs by it's own ,hardness also occurs at a particular portion. When discomfort occures hip pain also feels.sometimes when hitting right side back ,ache feels in stomach fronds. I also have right side shoulder and hand pain which occurs after work. Breastfeeding baby only on right side. I consulted doctor for burping problem and all this problems and weight loss from 68 kg to 62 kg within 4 months. But no fatigue or tiredness. But always feels a problem in rightside stomach portion.

No urine problem. Sigmoidoscopy done and didn't show any problem.have gastritis No rib pain .but feels very near to lowribs or under lower rib. When hitting upper back rib feels pain in front. Hand and shoulder pain feels like coming from upper back. Once doctor gave anti inflammatory medicine and showed relief from hand and shoulder pain. Whom to consult for this .pls reply doctor.
Brief Answer:
As discussed
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for additional information.
Your history is still more suggestive of costochondritis with inflammation of muscles around.
May be fibromyalgia.
You may please consult your Doctor and discuss these issues and have proper palpation/examination.
He can start a proper management with anti-inflammatory medicines. If this fails then he can refer to the proper Specialist if he thinks so.
Till then you can do the following:
Apply a belt/corset in such a way that covers the area so that it gives support during movements. I do apply Elastoplast (sort of an adhesive yet stretchable tape) to the skin after full exhalation. This limits the movement, gives rest for healing, for medicines to act on.
Oral steroids if you do not have diabetes.
Course of an anti-inflammatory medicines with painkiller properties.
Avoid stress, anxiety, excessive on instigating/enhancing movements purposefully.
The inflammation >pain>spasm> inflammation cycle needs to be broken for effective long term benefit.
I hope this answers your queries and helps you.
Take care.
