I’m so sorry for your issues. They sound like mine. I’m in constant pain in my upper abdomen. I can’t eat much and just continue to lose weight. I’ve had 4 different tests and 2 EGDs and nothing turns up. My dr just sends results of the tests with no comments. Can’t see her until November 28. I’m very frustrated. I know how you feel. I’m fortunate I have many people praying for me or I don’t know what I’d do. Hang in there.

In 2021, I went to the ER six times in a course of maybe three months for pain on right side of abdomen. Also experienced nausea w/little appetite. An ultrasound was performed the 1st time. I can't remember what other imaging tests were performed. I would be sent home with PPIs. Finally I was referred to a surgeon. He said that he thought my gallbladder had to come out. I then said that previous tests didn't show anything. He said that scans don't pick up everything in a given time. So I had my gallbladder removed. The pain disappeared but it took my body 3 months to return to normal. I lost about 20 lbs. Worst year of my life. It felt like a slow death. And to top it off, I then had a spontaneous CSF leak at the end of that year. It took my body 6 months to recover from that. I then developed a frozen shoulder the following year because of all the stress on my body.
