Suggest Treatment For Pain In Entire Upper Abdomen And Also A Lump Noticed
Hi. I have had a dull ache in my upper left abdomen for the last 6 months it is constant there is also a small lump there. Now my entire upper abdomen is achey or just weird feeling and my upper and middle back hurts.hurts. I have seen 7 doctors 6 dont have a clue but did order tests. 1 actually said it was my bra and 2I suspect an internal hernia. I am also a gastric bypass patient surgery was in 2003. I have had 2 xrays 2 CT scans along with an entire abdominal ultrasound everything was clear except for an ovarian cyst. I also had 2upper endoscopies and a colonoscopy the 2last upper showed a small non bleeding ulcer. I dont have health insurance and all these tests are rough on the checkbook but I have got to vet rid of this pain. Any suggestions on where to go from here.
Thanks
Thanks

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
To recapitulate :: Gastric bypass in 2003- dull ache left upper abdomen- constant- 6 months- small lump there - now entire upper abdomen- back pain... 7 Docs - scans- non-bleeding ulcer on endo-
Well , I think you need to undergo MRI of the spine , it is possible that you have a disc causing compression - causing this constant pain.
Take laxatives, Change to healthy diets, home-made foods only avoid foods or beverages which increase this problem. Even a stress can be a reason for the pain or not alowing it to subside.
