Severe stomach pain

I have had acute abdominal pain since April 2011 and it has escalated over the months.. The pain begins early morning, remains unrelenting and escalates throughout the day. It is sharp at times and gnawing most of the time. It radiates down from my sternum and to the lower left of my abdomen. My family doctor nor GI specialists cannot find the cause. I have had CT scans, ultrasound, video capsule endoscopy, colonoscopy, blood tests, push endoscope, H pylori tests, ova stool test for parasites and MRI, to name a few. EVERY test result has been returned as "unremarkable"--no cause found. I am currently taking Paxil 25mg, Nexium and Oxycodein for the pain. Nothing has helped me determine the source of this pain. I am reaching out to this community to see is anyone has a similar experience.

Help! I have pain in upper left abdomen and sometimes in the upper center area as well. Its gnawing and escalates as the day progressed. Sometimes its accompanied by nausea, vomiting and watery diahrria, but not always. I have bloating as well. Symptoms often ease up at night when I go to bed. I have no gall bladder and upper and lower endoscopy have revealed nothing. I've not noticed any difference with particular foods. Tried elimination diets. This started 3 months ago. I am 40. Thanks in advance for any advice.

@nrg33 Started 3 months ago... Did you take any antibiotics in the 3 months prior?

@thegreattonsil I guess technically yes I had stopped the Vancomycin for the c-diff infections in late May and my GI pains started on 8/24 so technically it was in the 3 months prior to my new pain. I just realized that after I initially replied to you.

Antibiotics for strep throat, followed by C-Diff that was most likely caused by the antibiotics for the strep throat, followed by antibiotics for the C-Diff... Yup. I've been down this road. I would guess that your gut needs some help replenishing the good flora (probiotics), and help digesting food (digestive enzymes). At least for 3 months to get things balanced again. And I would say that paying attention to diet and foods and triggers should be addressed again. Your symptoms ease up at night because you're not eating. To ease the digestive issues, switching to a partial liquid diet might help. Smoothies, nutrition shakes, etc. They helped me a great deal during the healing process. There are conventional and organic options.

I don’t know if I’m even doing the right thing by posting this here but I think I just need some reassurance that I’m not on some sort of self pity trip so if you think I am please keep your thoughts to yourself because I really don’t need to know them. I have been suffering severe epigastric pain for about eleven months now. I think I’ve had every investigation under the sun both as in and outpatient and we thought the gastroenterologist had diagnosed chronic pancreatitis because she said she’d leave the pain relief to the gp and would only still see me because of the weight loss (over 40kg since February) but I asked the gp today to refer me to the pain clinic and he said that was for the gastroenterologist to decide. Over the last few visits to him he has succeeded in making me feel like I’m a nobody, totally selfish and that the only person that should matter is my husband because of what I’m putting him through to the point where if I feel upset at all I can’t show it until my husband is sleeping at night as I’ no right to upset him any further. I don’t know who I can speak to who won’t judge me or just section me again. The same gp was responsible for making myself and my family believe I had dementia and won’t admit it or apologise. We’re in the process of changing gp’s but there are only one or two left in the practice we can ?trust. What happens after that? I know the majority of you are probably in the USA but we are in Scotland and the nhs isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. I am now ashamed to admit I once worked for the nhs as it’s not fit for purpose thanks to the uk tory government. I just want answers as I sit here in tears because the pain is so bad despite another increase in Morphine. Can anyone come up with any rational solutions because I would be extremely grateful?
