What is causing my abdominal pain?

Q: For several months I have been having horrible, sharp, stabbing and burning abodminal pain just under my right ribcage and around the naval. It is tender to the touch and I feel a little “knot” by my belly button and it hurts when touched. The area is not warm to the touch but very cool. A lot cooler than the area around it. The only way I can describe the burning pain is it feels like when you have a canker sore in your mouth and you touch it. I had a complete hysterectomy and an appendectomy 6 years ago. Along with this I have horrible acid reflux to the point where when I get it I feel like I’m going to get sick. I’m taking many medications. Prozac, Elavil, Ambien and Vicodin. I have had blood tests done, x-rays and ultrasounds and all have come back negative. I just have this feeling that if a surgeon would do an exploratory surgery on my abdomen he would find something but I can’t just call a surgeon and ask him to do that. Any ideas on what could be causing the pain??Wouldn’t any kind of hernia show up on an xray or ultrasound?Tramadol does absolutely nothing for my pain. I take the Vicodin because I have 3 herniated disks in my back.

A: a hernia

What could cause severe nausea, burning, and then sharp pain in my stomach and left side?

Q: I’m a 25-year-old female, and a few weeks ago, I started having severe nausea (accompanied by chills) about an hour or so after eating, and if I could stand not taking antacids, my stomach would burn. It didn’t feel like heartburn, as it just stayed below my rib cage. It didn’t matter what I ate…it happened all the time. I went to my gastro doc, and he said it was likely my gallbladder, and he put me on aciphex to curb the symptoms. I had an upper abdominal ultrasound, and everything looked fine, much to my surprise. Since then, I have been calling his office about a game plan going forward, and they have said they’re waiting on labs from my internist…for ALMOST 2 WEEKS!Well, now I have this random sharp pain right below my rib cage in the center, and when I push on it, I feel a sharp pain below my ribs on the back left side. It doesn’t last a long time, but long enough! I had dull flank pain on the left side a few days ago, and was worried about a UTI, but my urine has been fine.As a background, last year, I had frequent diarrhea for about 8 months, and those symptoms don’t come into play when I have my newest illness. They never were able to diagnose my earlier symptoms from last year. After all this, I’ve dropped 25 lbs. in the past 14 months, bringing my to an almost unhealthy 110.Can anyone provide insight? I know better than to seek medical advice online alone, but I just don’t want to panic before the doctor calls me back. Plus, I’m SO tired of all this!!! Thanks in advance to anyone who responds!!

A: If not gallbladder, sounds like pancreatitis. Any alcohol consumption in your life before this started? Inflamed liver perhaps.You might try going on a very strict diet of mostly veggies for a bit to discover if you can straighten out what sounds like a toxic issue. And no processed food. Need to cook stuff from scratch. H20 only for a bit.And if you are really painfully motivated, give meat the boot in exchange for protein powder.No alcohol of course. I’d say a week or two ought to get you going again.

Why the hell am i so depressed?

Q: I’m just wondering why i’m so damn depressed. I can list so many reasons why i am but no matter how hard i try they won’t go away. It’s making my life not worth living since every day there’s always something to put me down.Firstly i became a diabetic just a year ago and I have only recently just got it under control. I also have a stomach problem that causes me to bring up acid. both combined give me terrible abdominal pain, headaches, burning sensations throughout my body and a sick taste in my mouth.secondly my girlfriend is a hell of a lot of work. No matter what i do shes never happy with me and calls me pathetic and a wanker. I do anything she wants but she complains when i didn’t do something very little when i had no idea she wanted it done because i’m not a mind reader. She has serious anger issues which cause her to scream, shout, punch, kick and slap me whenever she thinks somethings gone wrong. She blaims me for everything that happens even if its something random like the weather she would blaim me and have a go at me if it was raining or to sunny. she does very annoying things as well such as constantly wanting me to entertain her even if i’m ill and can’t move because of my health problems she will just prod and poke me till i do what she wants. I never get to do i damn thing i enjoy anymore its always her music, her movies, her games never anything i would want to do. Sometimes she can be nice but i’m doubting that now because latly shes getting worse and worse and blaiming me for it. Whenever i do get time alone to do something she constantly calls me to ask when i’m leaving so i can go to see her which is really frustrating when i’m trying to do college work. If i’m not quick enough and finish in the time she wants me to she goes back to screaming and punching me. I’m at the end of my rope with everything and i recently started bringing up blood which has put me down further since i have no idea where its from and why its happening. i’m normally such an up beat person and i’ve stopped a lot of people feeling like i do now but i’m all alone and have no one to talk to so i can’t help myself since i’m getting to the point where its to much. Thank you to anyone that reads this.

A: Wow. It sounds like you’re going through alot.Firstly, if you don’t mind me saying, i suggest you dump your girlfriend. You are in an abusive relationship that you need to get out of as soon as possible. She is bringing you down and hurting you and this is not right.Secondly, your body’s problems can affect your mood more than you may realise. Keeping healthy sleeping habits, maintaining the right diet, and getting plenty of exercise can help with your mood. If you are already doing all this (though i can’t imagine you being able to with that girlfriend of yours), you may need to see a doctor about your feelings.I’m thinking that when and if you get rid of your girlfriend, things will get much better for you. But if they don’t seeing a doctor about your depression would be a good idea.I wish you luck with your situation.
