I have had pain below my left rib now for a month and it is much worse when I eat/sit down-bending over and in the night. I had loads of bloods done last week and all were fine including pancreatic enzyme test so I know I do not have acute pancreatitis.
My GP has referred me for a gastrocopy to be done within 2 weeks yesterday and also an ultrasound of my pancreas etc.
As soon as i eat the pain gets much worse which is why she is sending me gastroscopy asap. I am not feeling sick of being sick just this constant pain in one place that is much worse when I eat/drink.
I know that normal ultrasound can miss pancreatic cancer in the early stages but GP said that it would be very unlikely that all my bloods including liver and pancreas enzymes would be fine if this level of pain was from my pancreas.
I am happy to be having the gastroscopy fairly quickly although its a bit worrying getting it under the 2 week cancer rule here in the nhs.
I am struggling to cope with the level of pain.
The hardest thing is that I want to know the answer now!
