Severe stomach pain
I have had several years of pain in my stomach and not sure what to do. i have had ibs, acid reflux, gastritis, internal hemorrhoids. A few months ago I had a slighly irregular Z line, mildly erythematous found in the antrum and nodules were found in the ascendingn colon.
I have taken xypaxin for pain but it no longer helps. I throw up daily and have diarrhea, I have headaches. My stomach cramps so badly that I can go anywhere because of the pain. What should I do?

Thank you for the link. I need to clarify that the pain I have is located on my left side, right below the rib cage. Eating or not eating does not bring it on. It comes out of no where. The area is tender. Severe; brings on cold sweat, anxiety/panic attack, sometimes nausea, sometimes close to throwing up. I find it hard to think. Creates air in my stomach and major belching, which eventually relieves the pain.
Just posting a small update.. going for 2nd consult with General Surgeon Sept 3 to discuss my options for removal of my Parastomal hernia. It has tripled in size and is now at times blocking urine flow from the stoma 😞. I really haven’t pushed the surgery issue due to Covid 19, but it’s to the point daily life is really hurting all the time and I’m not to pleasant to be around when it comes to eating with family. ( not to mention making mad dash to the potty and sometimes not getting there quick enough and having “accident” is very embarrassing and depressing for me).

1 ReactionHas anyone had this kind of pain. I have had it for 2 months with no diagnosis.I have had every test and nothing comes up. Can you help?
@mmoss, I can imagine that have severe abdominal pain without a diagnosis is very discouraging. I see you also started this discussion that provides a bit more background into your situation:
- Splanchnic Nerve Blocks for Abdominal Pain https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/splanchnic-nerve-blocks-for-chronic-nerve-block/
While we cannot provide a diagnosis (that's for medical professionals to do), I hope that the community here on Mayo Clinic Connect can help you advocate for yourself, help you to know what questions to ask and journey along side you as you seek and find answers. What tests have you had done? Have you seen a GI specialists?
Has anyone had this happen after they eat? If so what do you think may be going on? Had every test imaginable and everything is normal. Thank you for your help.
Hi @mmoss I know you are going through a lot and just trying to seek answers. I would like to direct you to one of our discussions that talks about extreme abdominal pain after eating. It may give you some information about what is going on with you. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/median-arcuate-ligament-syndrome-mals/
You will see that I moved your inquiry to the post you published on the same subject. We do this so that anyone wanting to respond to you, has a centralized place to go rather than looking through multiple posts. Anytime you comment on a particular discussion it brings it to the top of the group listings so you don't have to fear it being overlooked.
I, along with Colleen, would love to know what other symptoms you are having so we can look into connecting you with members who have experienced like scenarios.
Hi Colleen, My only symptoms are lower abdominal burning pain. Mostly when I eat but can come on for no reason. I am 67 and this burning just came on one day. I have no underlying conditions and was extremely healthy and fit prior to this happening two months ago. Pain management is treating me with pain medication, I need to find out what is causing this stomach burning. I have had CT scans, blood work, ultra sounds on pelvis and vagina. Just looking where I can go to get help. It’s been impossible to get into Mayo Clinic.

1 ReactionHas anyone had lower abdominal burning that radiates into the pelvic area? I’ve had for 7 weeks. Had every test imaginable and been to every specialist. Everything comes back normal. Don’t know where to turn for more help. Impossible to get into Mayo Clinic in Florida. Suggestions welcome!!!!
Hi @mmoss, I am terribly sorry you are having a difficult time seeking care. You'll see I moved your comment to the discussion that you started on the same subject, but not to fear, as you can see here whenever you post to a discussion it sends it back up to the top of the list in Groups. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/digestive-gastrointestinal-problems/
Have you sought a physician referral to get into Mayo Clinic?
I have not sought a physician referral. Would that get me in sooner? Don’t even know what department would I see. I’ve had every test done and seen every specialist in Sarasota. Nothing can pinpoint why I am having this pain.
