Hello @kaylabrooks326 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
Your situation sounds so very difficult! Pain like you describe tends to take all of your energy and focus, doesn't it?
If you could share a bit more it might help to connect you with others who have had a similar problem. For example, you describe this pain as epigastric. Could you be a bit more specific such as near the ribs or just on one side or the other? Also, when the pain goes to your back what side does that occur on? Did the pain begin after eating a meal that was rich in fats or spicy?
Is the specialist you will see on Thursday a Gastroenterologist (GI) specialist?

The pain is occurring in the upper middle abdomen right under my ribs. The pain in my back is kinda all over but it is a little more on my right side. The pain just suddenly started. For dinner before the pain, I just had a plain sandwich with just ham and cheddar cheese. I do see a Gastroenterologist specialist. If it helps, I am 21 years old and have never had any problems like this before.
