ORIGINAL POST
I've made a couple of similar posts with similar issues over the period of two years, and this last week this back/side/under rib pain has been back. Its a mostly dull pain and every now and then feels sharp. It's been mostly on my left side but I've had it on the right and around my back the last few days too.
I'm worried because I googled and saw that random intervals of pain like this over time can be a symptom of pancreatic cancer.
I saw a doctor a few days ago and she tried her best to reassure me, she felt my stomach and noticed I was a bit bloated and prescribed me some meds to help with gas pain. She said I'd actually been to see the doctor there in 2016/2017 with similar symptoms and she wasn't worried especially since I'm 25.
It reassured me somewhat but it's more painful today and I'm feeling so anxious. I don't know whether to go back tomorrow and ask to be seen by someone else?
Has anyone had pain like this? Can it be just from gas? I do admit that when the pain is particularly bad a little time later I do pass gas. And I've been diagnosed with IBS for years and often am constipated.
I'm just worried because the pain is high on my body.. under my ribs, my upper back..
