Stomach pain undiagnosed for 3.5 months

My wife is 58 years old. She has bad stomach pain. She has lost 70 pounds in last year. She's very weak and has a hard time eating, because it makes her sick and or makes her have more stomach pain. She can hardly get around by herself. So she's has fallen several times. She fractured her pelvis about 5 months ago. Recently fell and fractured her collar bone upper arm and tore her rotator cuff. So can't use left arm. She says stomach pain is worse than shoulder pain. Had CT scan of pelvis and stomach and scope last week. It ulcers were healed up, there's some scaring. But no answer on pain , nausea, rapid weight loss. She drinks soda but they said that is about the only calories she gets so let her have it. I'm scared I'm going to lose her. She has had a lot of health issues like hip replacement at 36 years old, back surgery, gallbladder removed and complications from that that about killed her. Yet always been a good caretaker of family and home. Now can't bathe herself or take care of house. That is hard on her too . I'm not the best help . Had my right lung removed in January 2021. I'm oxygen dependent. She ran herself into the ground taking care of me. I'm doing better now that I have to do more. I hope Mayo can help her. Sorry for going on so long. First time I commented on here. I'm sorry for your pain and you get better and answers.

Has she been checked for gastroparesis or functional dyspepsia. They both cause alot of pain and weight loss bloating and nausea.
