What Causes Stomach Pain With Soreness And Burning?
I have gallstones & kidney stones. I have attacks of some sort a couple times a week..starts in the middle of stomach area high under ribs. Then it s my left side of body in front and then mostly in the back where it spreads to the right side also. Hurts to push in on my right front side. The burning and gas last 4-5 hrs. I m sore inside all the time & it s getting worse. Gallbladder doctor won t address the other pains. What kind of a doctor do I need to see & how do I find one. Each time I start for the ER it quits & I choose to wait till the next time. This has been going on since December 2013.

hi.
noted history of gallstones and kidney stones. with regards to your gallstones, it is best to see a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. with regards to your kidney stones, it is best to see a urologist. your gallstones seem to be symptomatic and it needs urgent evaluation. diagnostics such as ultrasound, liver function tests and blood count will be directed accordingly. definitive management is cholecystectomy (laparoscopic or open) and proper antibiotic regimen. low fat, low salt diet is also advised.
hope this helps.
good day!!
