@amm97 - Did the tests show which abdominal arteries were narrowed?
I have had a variety of abdominal pain causes- still have some.
One of the most painful causes was narrowing of the celiac artery due to a ligament from the diaphragm indenting the artery- this is what is called MALS. Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome. The pain gets worse when one is digesting a meal- less blood flow to the intestine. I had pain also when sitting bent over. Most people show weight loss. Not me- I gain weight with everything!
I have had severe pain from esophagitis, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreatitis and intestinal inflammation.
If I were you, I would see a gastroenterologist at a major university medical center and have your tests reviewed.
The narrowing of the abdominal arteries should be re- evaluated.

The duplex ultrasound showed narrowing of the SMA and Celiac Artery but the CTA and MRI didn’t.

Hello, can you explain in more detail the pain you experienced, how severe as it relates to the different stomach areas. I too have had severe stomach problems. For many years (over 10) I have had upper upper right quad/stomach pain. & had every test except the one you mention and maybe “Duplex” Ultrasound. Thanks for your help.
