Hello again @emmie13,
I went back and read your previous posts about your history with this problem. Have you considered getting a second opinion at a multi-disciplinary health care facility? I'm thinking about a university medical school or a facility like Mayo Clinic. These organizations are research-oriented and are very good at diagnosing but also in educating patients about their disorders.
If you choose to make an appointment at one of these health care centers be sure to talk about the pain you experience. If possible. try to keep a journal of your pain and discuss when it is at its worst. For example, is it worse after a heavy meal, or after exercise, etc.? You might also consider eating smaller, more frequent meals to see if that helps.
I'm assuming that your GI doctor did an upper endoscopy. If not, that might be a good way to rule out other causes or your discomfort.
Will you post again and let me know how you are feeling and how you are doing seeking answers?

I have not but I would be interested, I am from Connecticut. How would I look at a list of organizations in my area?
The GI decided to put me on a stomach acid reducing medication before the endoscopy. I have been on it for 4 weeks and no changes yet. After 8 weeks of no change, he will do endoscopy.
I am still having all of the same symptoms. I have noticed the pain comes when I am up and about- I have to sit to relax the pain. Although, today I was sitting and my pain began and has not gone away since. It has been since about 9 this am. I have called my GI to see if there is anything I can do for the pain as it stops me for moving around when it comes.
