In January he sent me for an abdominal ultrasound that was clear. Thinking it was acid reflux or gastritis, he but me on acid reducing medication in February, which has not helped. My h. Pylori test that he did was negative. The pain is becoming worse, especially after I eat or drink and my stomach is full. If I'm going on about with my normal activities after eating or even after just drinking a glass of water, it will cramp and sieze up like if I went to the gym to do cardio immediately after eating...which I don't. Saw my doc again on Friday and he ordered blood work for my pancreas, thinking pancreatitis. All of my liver, kidney and pancreas blood work has come back fine and he is referring me to a gastro for an endoscopy. I am worried, as I've heard of pain lasting this long turning out to be pancreatic cancer and by the time it's diagnosed, it's in the late states because the testing has taken so long, especially in someone so young. I've also read one of the signs is pain after eating.
