Abdominal pain

Abdominal pain

Over the past 2 weeks I've developed a pain on my right upper abdomen just under the rib cage.  It kind of feel like I am short of breath and tends to get worse after I've eaten a meal. I just had my ovaries removed in July and had an abdominal CT Scan done then.  Anyway, I went to my PCP regarding this pain and wants to do an U/S which is fine.  I had mentioned that I had a CT back in July ordered by my gynecologist so I requested a copy of the records to be sent over to my PCP.  MY CT report from July states that there is a round hypodensity on my pancreas and needs to be followed up.  I was never told any of this and was wondering could this be the culprit?  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Shawn

I have taken antibiotics quite a bit over the last year due to a post op infection, and several sinus infections.  I took Bactrin most recently and prior I've taken Levaquin, Biaxin xl, and Cipro.  Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Shawn

have you considered pancreatitis?  could be a psuedocyst on the pancreas that is causing the pain.  i had this same abdominal pain that also radiated to my back and this was very discomfortin.  came to find out that i had chronic pancreatitis and i have been treating this disease ever since then.  i would ask my PCP or Gastro if this could be the culprit.  let me know if it is (hopefully its not) and i can further share my treatment with you.
good luck!
