Chronic Abdominal pain with no diagnosis

Posted by ashutosh1991 @ashutosh1991, Aug 30, 2025

Hello everyone, I am suffering from chronic upper left abdominal pain for past month and the severity of pain took me to emergency 3 times in last 3 weeks. I had my blood work, xray, ultrasound and gastroscopy done all the test came out fine. Doctors don’t know what’s wrong with me. When pain starts it last for 4-5 hours and happens atleast twice a day (which is almost whole day). No diet or dietary restrictions helping. Please suggest relief if anyone have any idea

@peterose try at least an average price one and try it

think the best time to try it is when you are having a few good days and be patient..i was trying it but had no patience.........Senna Tea

just a thought....everyone appears to have the challenge of hard stools......there must be some research and medically approved recommendation ANDWARNINGS......we are spending our lives experimenting!

I am struggling with severe abdominal and back pain. When I get up in the morning my abdomen severely distended and it is painful and difficult to urinate (pain level 10). While sitting drinking my tea before breakfast I already have abdominal and back pain and no matter what foods I eat experience pain as soon as I start eating. After passing a stool (happens daily because the Dr had prescibed a daily laxative) there is no relief and the abdominal and back pain intensify (pain level 20). The pain gets so severe that it is difficult to even drink water and I am in pain when lying down, sitting or walking for the entire day. I was initially diagnosed with IBS in May but have no explanation for the severity of these current symptoms. The Dr prescribed a Sovenor 5 patch which didn't help the pain at all and I am now trying a fasting-acting sublinguinal opiod for some relief of the pain but it is not a long-term solution. Has anyone had a similar experience or can anyone offer me any advice as the Dr has no solution for this chronic severe pain?

@hayl Sometimes people have to take both sublingual and sustained morphine for ever. then you need laxatives to handle the opioid induced constipation along with high fiber foods. I have also found the MBSR program to be helpful.
Hope 2026 is better.
