Hello @richv1988 and welcome to Mayo Connect. Unfortunately, the members of Mayo Connect are patients like yourself, and we cannot diagnose or answer questions as to what your problem might be. That being said, I am sorry to hear about the pain you are experiencing. In your post, you do not mention any other tests, other than the CT scan and blood tests. Has an upper endoscopy been discussed or a colonoscopy? These tests might help pinpoint other problems that might be causing this discomfort.
Have you had an opportunity to consult with a GI specialist? I would think that this might be a good next step for you.
You mentioned medications that the doctor suggested to treat ulcers and IBS? Have these medications provided any relief?

@hopeful33250 hello. sorry for the phrasing of my question. I sadly recently lost my insurance and am going to a free clinic and we. No other test have been performed. I have another appointment on the 10th that I’ll likely ask the doctor for more info. They’ve definitely provided some relief. Most of the stomach pain is gone and there’s only a slight discomfort left. Now there’s a pain in my lower back but it could be due to my new bed frame.
