Hi there
Can anyone help? I have got this persistent pain under my right ribs and also get bouts of indigestion with it. I have actually had this on and off for nearly 3 years now! Have been backwards and forward to the doctor - I think he thinks I am nuts! About 3 years ago I had the camera down and have over the past 2 years had 2 ultrasound scans - all normal. Have been back again to see Doc as I wondered if it might be somthing to do with my back/ribs as I get pain through to my back as well. Has agreed to send me for an MRI scan of my spine. I actually think it is something to do with my digestive system and that it may be a disfunctional gall bladder as the Doc said you can have that and it wouldn't show up on scan - why has he not suggested sending me for an HIDA scan if that is the case? He suggests it is IBS but I cannot believe I would get the pain so high up under the ribs and so painful? Am 47 and am on Omaprozole to help the burping - did help intitally but seems to be back now. Can anxiety cause these kind of symptons? I am the kind of person who only has to read about symptons and I get them! I am a real health anxiety sufferer and do get very stressed etc. I am now panicking that I may have stomach cancer!!
HELP!:weep:
