pain inbetween stomach and diaphram.

Hi. I am 30 year old female. I have been having stomach problems for my whole life. No real diagnosis. I been having pain in my left ribcage area for more than a month. About a month ago I had to go to the er for rectal pain, and pain in my abdomen. They did a CT scan and said there was a cyst in my abdomen and free flowing fluid in my abdomen as well. I know that pain very well. So to conferm my suspision, i had been having this pain for 3 weeks. now, waiting on results from a colonoscopy biopsy, still have major pain in upper left stomach rib area. pain stays constantly' i feel full, but I am not eating alot. Hurts worse if i drink cold stuff. I know what gas pain is and its not that. I have 1 child. 5 years ago I had a hystorectomy, so kinda curious about the cyst they found, going to the ob to get that checked. But in alot of pain. please help. any info will help lead me in a new direction.

A Hiatal Hernia may be caused from your esophagus or stomach trying to push against an small opening in your diaphragm. When I had a hiatal hernia, the pain was not too great, but bugged me just enough to be uncomfortable. When I felt the pressure beginning, I pushed back on the point of entry, and it helped.Locate the point of entry with your fingers the next time you have pain so you can show your doctor. I remember that I was dieting at the time, and after I lost about 20 pounds, the pain stopped. I do not know how a doctor diagnoses a hiatal hernia and how to cure the pain. The next time you visit your doctor, mention to him/her whether your pain is from a hiatal hernia.
