Hello everyone!

Thank you for reading my post.

After my fight with H pylori (beat it about 2 1/2 months ago), I have developed a strange symptom. I have almost constant discomfort right under my left ribcage and and on the side of it. This pain extends to the left quadrant of my abdomen once i eat, and it often intensifies. It is a pressure-like feeling as something felt heavier than normal, and when theres no pressure it feels like my left side segment has a knot or something. The pain is on the extremity of the left side of my abdomen (upper quadrant) and it eradicates to my back and the lower part of my left shoulder. I am a bit stressed. I did however recently have a general abdominal MRI with no abnormalities found with arrows indicating how the pain develops.

Some days I have more pain some days I have less.

Could you help me understand what it could be? Is it my colon or is it my stomach? My doctor appt is in two weeks and some opinions would help me relax a bit. I have attached an image

    You may have gastritis which can be triggered by h pylori. Pain under the ribcage can be a symptom of gastritis. Ask your doctor about this.

    It will probably go away before you see a doctor. You may want to ask a pharmacist to recommend many over the counter remedies available.
