Suggest Treatment For Painful Back Arthritis
I am an 85 year old woman who has bad arthritis in my back. Painful but it is my left side that is excruciating. My stomach is distended. I have had catscans, mri s and a cars can where I drank this chalky stuff. I have been to many specialists and they tell me that is must be a nerve coming from my back that is being pinched by my arthritis. They say it is not diverticulosis and was checked for that. What else could it be that my stomach should be so distended and the pain is sore to the touch?

Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
The stomach pain and distention may be related to stomach inflammation possibly gastritis. It may have been caused because you have used antinflamatory drugs such advil or naproxen for arthritis pain. You may need to use omeprazole for stomach pain.
Hope I have answered the question.
