Hi the last 10 weeks ive had upper abdominal pain (always a dull ache) just above belly button up to where rib cage meets but can become severe (stabbing pains) under my ribs which can last weeks. Its affected by movement so i cant twist, bend, etc so i have to stay rigid. When its severe it lasts through the night but when its dull it seems to be better when i lie down. I lost alot of weight too. Ive had numourous tests and only thing they found is a small hiatel hernia. Now they say it could be gastritis? Please help it affects me everyday allday :(
