Severe stomach pain

Four months of MAJOR suffering. Only symptom was pain, mostly in the right side but radiating and even shooting all over abdomen even into hip bones. All types of pain, including feeling of outward pressure, heat, buzzing, burning sometimes. No other symptoms. Never had GI issues, especially acid.

Lots of CTs, ultrasounds, blood, urine, gall bladder tests. Colonoscopy came back clear -- surprise. Endoscopy at same time showed major inflammation of duodenum and some ulcers in there. Awaiting biopsy results: perhaps pylori, perhaps malignant, perhaps simply acid-damaged.

May this help someone.

I had similar pain after my gallbladder surgery. Had exploratory surgery 5 years later and discovered that my duodenum had adhered between the lobes of my liver where the gallbladder used to be. They took down the adhesions, but I still had constant pain. A pain specialist diagnosed me with an abdominal neuroma and tried to treat it with ablation which helped for a few months at a time. After years of pain meds and ablation treatments, I finally got a neurostimulator that helped tremendously. I went from 7 different pain meds a day down to one. It took 25 years to get relief but now I’m doing well. Good luck and keep advocating for yourself.
