Does anyone have any experience of muscle pain in stomach/ribs area radiating into back?
Have suffered on and off for 3 years with pain under right rib and have been to see 2 Gastroenterolgists (had numerouos tests including endoscopy, abdominal ultrasounds and MRI scan of back) The surgeon that I saw more recently looked at notes, felt my tummy and said that he didn't think there was anything wrong with my insides and that it was muskuloskeletal. What does that mean exactly? He suggested a referral to the chronic pain clinic. Can you have such prolonged repeated pain from muskuloskeltal problems, can this really cause such internal pain?? I am always burping as well - surgeon said that "everyone burps" - am on Lanzaprozole. My GP is aware of my health anxiety and says I am an air swallower!
Did have a fall about 4/5 years ago when I fell down my stairs - thought I had broken my back!! Also have a strong dog that has pulled my right side for 4 years - can these be contributory factors - I thought muscles healed quickly??
Am going away next week and I want to relax and not be worried that I have something wrong with my Gall Bladder or Pancreas etc. etc. You know the scenario!! Help!!!:lac:
