Heavy Pain In Upper Right Of Ribs. Colonoscopy, CT Test, Gastrin Tests Done. Doctor Find Any Cause For Pain. What Might Be Wrong?
I have heavy pain in My upper left quadrant right beneath my ribs. When I stand up or walk it feels like I am
Carrying a cannonball on my left side. It also is painful to the touch. I have had a colonoscopy, a ct scan, a gastrin test
and a test for parasites. My doctor cannot find any cause for my pain. I have to take Imodium or I have diarrhea 24 /7.
Do you have any clue as to what is wrong? They are suggesting I see a surgeon for exploratory surgery.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
In such cases when nothings comes out in investigation as long as the abdomen cavity is concern the next strategy would be exploration of abdomen in this the surgeon can see the pathology or try to find it out in different areas of viscera, but most of the time abnormality does not dected if it would have there then it might have been dected in Ct scan, If I would be your doctor then I would definitely suggest you for MRI scan this would give the same result as you will get after the exploration, it may not be any thing danger just keep your stess level low and try Omeprazole with domperidom for six week will get good realief, have nice day.
