Stomach issues
Posted , 4 users are following.
I am a thirty eight year old woman with 5 kids 4 under the age of six. Over the last year I have had pain in my left and sometimes right ribs dull ache under my sternum area and random pains that come and go within 2 seconds in my upper abdominal and right beside my belly button on both side. I also have an an achy back from my bottom ribs to neck. This is almost always there but eases up a little sometimes. My stomach has now decided to be bloated it looks I'm 3 months pregnant. I also have an issue with my ear pooping in and out and when this happens I can hear my breathing in my ear. It's like a fuzzy sounds.
My sternum is siore to touch the opening and my are ribs on out side are also painful to touch. I had a abdominal ultra sound that was clear an upper GI that was clear, blood work was good .anyone have these problems all the time. I'm so afraid it's pancreatic cancer that I have my self all worked up. My doctor says it's not but he doesn't know for sure. Any help out there

I would definitely advise you to go and get a second opionion on your gallbladder and ask if you could get a CT Scan.
I'm also panicking that I have cancer and I really know how you feel with that. I have random outbursts of tears and scared that I won't be able to have a family in the future or see my nieces grow up.
It's awful to have anxiety over cancer.
I wish you all the best and please let us know how you get on. I have an appointment with a surgical team on the 8th September and I'm scared to death as I've never had surgery before.

My pain gets worse when I eat, especially if the food is high in fat.
I was given an abdominal ultrasound on my liver, gallbladder, pancreas and aeorta and all came back normal. I had LFT (Liver function test) blood work taken too and apart from a slight rise in white cell count I was sent home with two lots of antibiotics and co-codamol.
I've been in agony since January and only now am I getting taken seriously at my GP's.
I hope that helps.

The 1st month the medicine didn't seem to be working but by the second month I started to see improvement and only then did I begin to calm down. I also changed my diet during the second month. So the diet played a huge role in my improvement. It's month 4 now and I am much better but not completely healed. I am still discovering things that aggravate me. It's trial and error to see which foods work for me.
So I'm just sharing as I shared most of your symptoms. So it could possibly be gastritis or gerd. But as Pink crayon said, please get your gallbladder tested first.
