Ok, first of all I have seen doctors about this, and they are baffled, so I decided to ask and see if anyone had anything similar. This is kinda long too.

It started about a year ago, I was getting really sharp pains in my stomach, its always in the same spot, about 4 inches to the right of my belly button. Sometimes the pain is so bad my back hurts in a spot directly opposite the pain in my stomach.

I went to the ER last July and had many tests run, they checked for Ovarian Cysts, Gallbladder stones, Hernia, Appendix and even ulcers. Everything came back negative and I was discharged with undiagnosed abdominal pain. I saw a doctor and was told it was most likely an ulcer that didn’t show up on the CT scan(peptic is what she said). So I took various medications over the next many months and had a very bland diet.

The pain would still come and go though it wasn’t to unbearable. After a year of taking the exprensive medication and not seeing a change I talked to my doctor and we decided to quit them. I was fine for 2 months. In the last two weeks the pain has come back, and its bad. Instead of only hurting when I exerted myself its every single day now. Without fail, in the early to late evening every day it starts to hurt, it gets progresivly worse until I go to bed, where lying down helps a bit but not much. The pain is gone by morning only to come back later that day. Sometimes it hurts after I eat, sometimes not. There seems to be little to no pattern and its driving me mad. A recent idea from the doc is an excess of stomach acid, though i would think if this was the case the pain would be more generalized rather that in one spot every time.

I am just confused, lost and in pain and I want it to stop. I don’t know what else it could be or what else to do. My husband is scared and I am going to see if my insurance will cover a gastroenteroligist. But I am seeing my regular doc later this week, and was hoping for some new ideas as to what this is.

Oh and the only thing I can think of that could have possibly triggered this renewed bout of pain is that the weather has gotten much cooler in the last 2 weeks. No lifestyle changes or anything else. Oh and hot showers seems to make the pain flare up.

Thanks if you actually read all this and can maybe shed a little light on all this.
