What activities make it worse - eating? walking?

Brief Answer:
Information

Detailed Answer:
This pain may be from the ulcer and possible irritation after the scope procedure.

I imagine you were give medication for the ulcer. If you were not given a prescription for any medication to treat the ulcer, please take ranitidine (Zantac) 150 mg twice a day until you talk to your doctor.

But if the pain is severe, and as I can't see the location of the pain without being able to do examination, I recommend you go in to A and E. If it is right upper abdominal pain, it could be due to your gall bladder, but my guess is that it is some sort of irritation from the endoscopy given that it happened just yesterday.

Detailed Answer:
Then I recommend the following course of action:

1. Call the doctor who did the endoscopy and report how your pain started right after the procedure.
OR...
2. Go in to the A and E now if the pain is severe.
OR...
3. Start ranitidine now and then call your doctor if it is not helping.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

I am confused. Do you mean that you weren't having pain until after the procedure, then a week later you were given omeprazole, then after 2 weeks there has not been any improvement? Am I getting the history right?
