Gastritis Pain with Movement or Walking?

Hi,

This is exactly how I feel. I was explaining to my partner that it felt like I had been kicked in the ribs and a continuous throb. Just wondering, are you also experiencing a lack of appetite? I am really struggling to eat and just can't see an end atm. So frustrating! I am taking Omeprazole for this- what about you?

Humanbeing I am having exactly the same exactly symptoms Its been months and its daily i have had every test done they even took my gullbladder out and that didn’t fix it I cry every day because I want my life back please if you have figured out what your cause was I would really like to know thank you

Hey did you ever find a solution? my mom is having almost identical symptoms to this. my dad had hplori for some time. But she never was diagnosed with anything. The endoscopy showed only gastritis and we have tried almost every doctors.

any suggestions or help would be precious and appreciated. 😦

For the past couple of years, every time I get a virus, I get pain in my upper stomach. When I walk, each step feels like someone is punching me about an inch below my diaphragm. Then, once the virus is gone, the pain disappears. I asked a gastroenterologist and he said the virus is likely causing the stomach lining to become inflamed. It does not sound as severe as the posts here, but I'm relieved to know that I am not crazy. I've discovered that if I bend forward at a 90 degree angle and walk, I don't feel the pain. Unfortunately, I can only do this in my house 😃

any updates? have you healed??

It might be side effects from taking the antibiotics, or another medication. I guess you will have to speak to the doctor about it again, and go for secondary advice with a different doctor. Take your vitamin D and try salty water.

Hello, i have the exact same symptoms im on ppi and the pain is constantly there...i cant go walking as exercise not even for a walk, windowshoping, i get that stubing pain, i cant breath, i feel like fainting. in some research i ve made this could be a problem with the celiac artery, have you checked with CT angiography??please reply any moment!!

Hi everyone, I realize this is an old thread but this is the only place I've found people experiencing symptoms like mine.

For over six months now I've had debilitating upper abdominal pain (stomach area) whenever I walk so much as twenty feet. Even moving around in my kitchen can be painful, or driving, but the pain is most prominent when I'm walking, and occasionally after eating.

I've had pretty much all the GI imaging tests - an X-ray, CT scan, ultrasound, and upper endoscopy. I've had plenty of blood tests and a biopsy as well. Everything came back unremarkable, and I was diagnosed with "Functional Dyspepsia" which is basically chronic stomach pain without a discernible cause. However, something in my gut (no pun intended) tells me this goes beyond digestion. It really doesn't matter what I eat - the pain doesn't discriminate. It seems like when I eat and then exert myself in any way, the pain is most prominent. Could be something as innocuous as a few pretzels and I get to walking only to be crippled with sharp pain almost instantly. I tried cutting out the usual suspects like gluten and dairy to no avail.

This thread is the first time I'm reading that this could be a nerve-related issue. I wonder if anyone reading this has experienced these symptoms and been diagnosed with something neurological. If so, I would love to hear of your experience. I work a physical job, so the pain is beginning to affect me financially, on top of mentally and emotionally. It's so hard living like this and I want my life back.

Hi. I did gastroscopy several times (once in March, second in April). First didnt show gastritis, but the second one showed mild gastritis. Now, mid June 2021, its more painful now than in April and it especially painful when I try to strain middle section of my body (take something from top shelf for example, or twist my abdomen, or take a long walk) pain is more intense in that case. I think that I have combination of gastritis and FD (functional dyspepsia, since it has similar symptoms to mine).

Have you found any relief?

Hey.. Really hope you are feeling better by now. I was someone who used to be perfectly fine with no trouble regarding stomach but 1 month back suddenly on a Saturday night I started to feel some strain in and around my navel as if my stomach got some strain/sprain some muscle pull kind of feeling and it was worse when I walked around. Severe pulling sensation around my navel /belly button. I thought I may have got it because of pulling something hard though I don't remember doing anything like that. The next day it got worse and stomach felt swollen and bloated. I went to consult a Gastroenterologist. He gave anti-parasitic for H. Pylori infection infection. With very less relief. Again he has changed medication and I have to take it for 1 month and he thinks it's IBS that am suffering from. I am really confused bcoz I have some kind of muscular discomfort and dull muscular kind of pain all over my stomach and when I walk or stand I feel some metallic thing is kept on the right side of my navel. And when I walk something keeps pulling inside around my navel as if some nerve pulling. It is such a weird feeling that can't be expressed in words. But always feels like muscle pull or sprain in stomach specially around navel/belly button. My symptoms increase after eating anything stomach seems swollen and feels bloated or swollen and then if I walk or stand for long all my symptoms increase including muscular pain around my whole stomach even my lower back starts hurting then. And when I walk something pulls around my navel really hard and it feels like pricking. I really don't know what's going on with me as I don't have exact pain kind of thing or what you call abdominal pain. But yes I do feel gastric bloating specially after eating anything. As of now am still in lot of discomfort and it's affecting my routine as I can't sit or walk for more than 10 minutes. Just wanted to share what am feeling here.

Wishing you a fast recovery.

I am sorry this is an old post, but fir the first time I have found someone describing what I been dealing with!

did you ever heal from this? I can't seem to find any doctor who can help

Any update or outcome on your symptoms? Have you been diagnosed yet?

help! I have Suffered from mostly the same tortures for more than 2 years now. Had 2 Colonoscopies (occult blood loss too), 2 endoscopies, ct scans, ultrasounds, blood tests, all of it! So Disappointed that I still Suffer from this epigastric pain almost every single day. No h.pylori, no hernia, mild gastritis found, mild inflammation found in duodenal bulb, copious amounts of bile found in cecum, polycythemia found by blood tests, elevated WBC, frequent infections, difficulty breathing, pain feels like i have been beaten in the stomach, sometimes cannot tolerate anything even getting close to my abdomen, ALWAYS cannot take slightest pressure just below rib cage, dead center, walking to kitchen can increase pain, cant eat much, sometimes just thinking i should eat can make pain worse, sometimes my skin hurts to be touched (i know it sounds strange but i can seem to feel the Layers of pain - muscle, bone, skin, joints) also extreme pain in arms, elbows, wrists, and hands that shoots me out of sleep and all i can do is sit up in bed holding my arms out in front of me and cry till its over - there is usually no going back to sleep without the pain returning, have same pains when I try to do anything (from my seat only of course), horrible brain fog, eye and vision craziness ((eyes feel like they are crossing or trying to turn around, purple floaters (no diabetes), black spot in center, right blocking vision), dizziness, and actually hit the floor one time when i passed out, 2 seizures and I never had them before, had right upper quadrant ultrasound yesterday, gallbladder looked fine, next test is called a Hida scan. i just want to stop waking up and enduring this pain every day. i want to be me again. also, this illness came on me practically overnight and started with major weight loss (which came back because I Force myself to eat and all of what I put on my plate) eating doesn't affect the pain to my recollections but I have still developed a sort of fear of it, I also Had drenching night sweats at beginning of all of this (gone now), reading your posts helps, at least im not crazy, others suffer same issue, my doctors dont say much, or maybe I don't know how to ask

I have these digestive issues and I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis (only diagnosed with a laproscopy - didn't show up on CTs except a cyst i had on my ovary). I also was diagnosed with gastroparesis via gastric emptying study. It's a four hour study where they scan your stomach after eating a radioactive meal to see how it digests. I think another was mentioning it could be Median arcuate ligament syndrome, but that would require a specialist who knew of it who could do tests. I've not been tested for it but some people with gastroparesis end up having that. I'm having autoimmune tests for gastroparesis which may show how it is caused. I'm also being evaluated for Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (a genetic connective tissue disorder that sometimes leads to gp). My neurologist also mentioned that I could have dystonia which can cause twisting muscles or tightening spasms. Sometimes it responds to levadopa / amandatine or other medications that increase dopamine. Hope this helps! Before I actually investigated they just said it was IBS and chronic gastritis, which is code for - we don't know enough to diagnosis you with anything but that.
