I went to an abdominal dr. also and he said just to keep on taking the asprin I was taking to help the pain. What else Can I do?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

I suppose you have stomach pains for a while now and started taking aspirin for it with some ?new drugs. MRI and X rays have been done for abdomen or any other part is not clear from your query.

With this information, I would like you to stop taking aspirin for stomach ache. You may take proton pump inhibitors (pantoprazole, omeprazole ) and some anti spasmodic medication. Aspirin may worsen your pains by causing gastritis and that might exactly be happening with you.

As investigations, I suggest you to have complete blood tests and ultrasound scan abdomen. A gastroduodenoscopy (oral endoscopy) might be done if necessary.

Hope this helps.
