Chronic Pain on upper back right side.

I had the same life threatening para esophageal hernia as you. Had it repaired in May 2020 and no problems since. My symptoms were spontaneous shooting pains through my back that would randomly come and go. I thought I had pancreatic cancer. I did all kinds of tests before the doctors finally eliminated everything else except this large hernia which I had had for years. The hernia surgeon knew right away. He also did a Toupet fundoplication at the same time to eliminate my acid reflux.

I am being tested for a number of things but mostly for the Gerd and it is related to my asthma, as well. I am struggling because the medication (carafate) has made for wt loss issues for me. Unfortunate….must be time to retire. But may need a job to afford my health. Thanks for your insoght
