Ive been having bad abdominal pains for about 3 or 4 months now, it started off as a dull pain and then woke me up one night with this horrid shooting pain just above my bellybutton and to the left, i went to the doctors and got put though a nasty array of tests from an endoscopy to the usual ultrasound scan, i also had a blood test which showed my white blood cells were low, which is to be expected considering i’m ill im guessing.
the pains have carried on, getting worse some days and better the next. it’s still constantly there but it can change from shooting stabbing pains to and dull ache. i’ve been treated of IBS it didnt work, muscle cramps and that didnt work and ive been tested for gallstones and it wasnt them. Im starting to get fed up now between being passed from every doctor in the area and the pain the worse thing is they all seem to be doing one thing and forgetting to carry it on. i changed my diet in an attempt to make it better but it doesnt. Ive now found that everytime i have a pain i can pin point it and there is a lump, they are hard lumps and they are not visible. I need help the doctors keep saying the same things and claiming they are stumped which im sure they are not. im tempted to just go to A&E ive known serveral drama queens that have had full scans within 2-3 days but im not sure if its really an emergency. any help would be lovely, suggestions, comments anything.

Last year I had a dr. who told me the same thing, that they were all stupid, except I tend to believe him. He never answered my question, couldn’t.
Anyway they could do any test you can think of and they are still going to miss the problem you are having because pain doesn’t show up in tests. Nor do pinched muscles which is all I think you are suffering from. At least that is the same symptoms I had and this took care of them. When you have pinched muscles in your back it can put pressure on the nerves going to the other body parts and that pressure, if on the nerves going to the stomach it can easily make the stomach put out too much acid which in time is going to start eating away your stomach lining. The pinching would be worse and feel better because of how you are holding your body, some days you can move so pains shoot and others, when you aren’t moving much the pain can remain a dull ache. Here is how you can release your back muscles to get rid of this pain:
Back:
(do from a sitting position)
Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and find the muscles next to your spine and press on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.

I don’t know this Douglas B. He gave nearly identical advice to someone suspected of having a pheochromocytoma (a very rare adrenal tumor) and another person suffering from migraines. The one thing he is correct about is that pain is very difficult for doctors to detect or measure. Doctors can see elevated enzyme levels for stress caused by pain.
Full body scans are usually a waste of money. Unless doctors know what to look for, they cannot perform a thorough scan of your body without bombarding you with a lot of radiation.
Gall bladder disease can be diagnosed with certain blood tests and an abdominal scan (ultra sound or CAT scan).
The key thing is to ask your doctors to explain in words you understand.
I share your frustration. It took me 5 ER visits over the course of more than a year before some smart doctor ordered an ultrasound to detect by gall bladder disease. They accused me of having acid reflux or constipation. I had some abdominal pains a few months ago and the first thing my doctor suggested was acid reflux medication. This is 2 years after having my gall bladder removed and no significant complications.
Best wishes for you. Be persistent and ask for explanations. Don’t let the doctors brush you off. It is always helpful to bring a friend or family member with you who can listen or help explain what you are trying to communicate.
