Upper Abdominal Pain Middle/Right side radiating to the back! Please Help!

[lisa]

I am 38yr old and feeling miserable for about a week.  I have pain that persist on my right side below the ribcage the pain radiates to the middle of my back and the center of my chest.  Like a burning sensation.  I avoid eating as much as possible to help the pain not be so intense.  I notice when I do eat I have alot of belching along with intense pain.  The pressure builds and builds and is relieved by belching, but the pain is still there and persist. The pain has been so bad that many times it wakes me at night. I had similar symptoms last year and seen my doctor and he ordered a ultrasound, catscan and nothing showed up and he sent me to a gastrologist and he wanted to do a endoscopy, but by the time the surgery was scheduled my symptons had improved so much I had decided not to have the endoscopy. From the time I had seen my doctor to the endoscopy a month had past. I am concerned that there may be something more serious going on and wonder if I should have the endoscopy or go back to my Doctor.  I am afraid of not doing the right thing and possibly this being something more serious. I have also been on Diovan for my blood pressure for about 2 years.  Please let me know your opinion and what you think this could be.  Thank you very much!

I have been having craps in my abdominal area for the past two weeks.  Mostly they seem to center around my left side just under the rib cage.  They just seem to come and go fairly quickly (5-7 seconds).  I also seem to get them in the lower right half of my belly about three inches to the right of my belly button.  I have to admit they are not very painful but after two weeks I am getting a little concerned.  If I press in the areas that are having pain there is no additional pain, during the cramping or after.  I experience no fever and can detect no other changes in my health.  I have not changed my diet in any dramatic way.  I don

MAPLE SYRUP.
DURING MASTER CLEANSING I WAS ON MY WORK TRIPS ALL THE WAY.
AFTER 10 DAYS I DID TEACH MY STOMACH BACK FOR TAFF FOOD, WHICH BECOME WITH FRESH ORANGE JUICE.IMMEDIATELY ON THE SAME DAY I RECEIVED YEAST INFECTION WHICH APPEARDED IN MY MOUTH.
I DECIDED TO BRAKE UP AND GO BACK TO MASTER CLEANSER UNTIL 18 DAYS WITH KNOWLEDGEMENT, THAT THIS COULD HELP.
DURING 5 DAYS OF TEACHING MY STOMACH BACK TO NORMAL I HEARD SOME
NOICES TIPICALLY FOR STOMACH WHICH IS FULL WITH FOOD.
BUT THIS ONE IT'S DIFFERENT.
I DO HAVE THOSE LOVELY NOICES ANYTIME DURING DAY.
APPROXIMATELY HALF YEAR AGO I STARTED TO HAVE PAIN UNDER
"PLEXUS SOLLAR", WHICH PAIN FROM DAY TO DAY RAISING AND ADD IT

I DO HAVE ALLWAYS UPSED STOMACH WITH FILLING,LIKE PERSON WHO JUST
FINISHED GOOD EATING, BUT I'M NOT.SOME TIMES REACTION FOR FOOD IS CHANGING AND I DO FEEL,THAT I HAVE TO EAT ANYTHING IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE II NOT I JUST DIE.

I DID STOP DRINK MILK, BECAUSE OF STOMACH REACTION.
MY STOMACH SIMPLY CAN'T TAKE ANY DAIRY PRODUCTS.
I'M NOT STRONG DRINKER, BUT I STOPED DRINK ALCOHOL COMPLETALLY,
BECAUSE AFTER USING IT I DO HAVE HEAVIEST FILLING ON MY STOMACH.

I HAVE RECENTLY HAD PAIN IN THE UPEER RIGHT MIDDLE OF THE CHEST. THIS HAD GONE ON FOR A MONTH OR SO. THE PAIN IS ALWAYS THERE ALSO AN EMPTY FEELING IN THE SENTER OF THE CHEST BELOW THE STERNAM. WENT TO THE DOC. AND DUE TO THE THROWING UP IN THE MORNING HE HAD PUT ME ON PREVACID NOTHING HAD CHANGED FOR DAYS. SO I CALLED AND WENT BACK IN. WHEN HE PUSHED ON THE GALLBLADDER AREA I FOLDED IN HALF . SO HE SET ME UP FOR THE NEST AVAIBLE ULTRASOUND. THAT TEST WAS TODAY. THE DOCTOR DID PUT ME ON AN ANTIBODIAC CALLED LEVAQUIN SOMETHING PRETTY NEW AND THAT IS ONCE A DAY PLUS THE ANTACID. WHICH THIS ALL DOES HELP SOMEWHAT BUT I STILL HAVE PAIN I AM ONLY TIRED IN THE DAY ALSO . I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS

I have had right lower and upper (it moves around) for what will be two years in November.  It started out with an ovarian cyst, then another, then I went on the pill (Jan. '99).  Pain remained, then I had a CT scan, which was negative.  My gyno did a laporoscopy in May of '99; nothing showed except a few adhesions which she said shouldn't have caused such pain.  In July,'99, I went off the pill, and immediately formed another cyst; went right back on the pill.  All along, the only thing that helped with the pain was Percoset (which knocks you out!).
In the fall of '99, I went for an abdominal ultrasound, upper GI, and an IVP (checks for kidney stones).  The urologist I saw said that it was a kidney stone, so I had a cystoscopy in Nov. '99; the doctor couldn't find the stone!!!!!  Back to square one...  All along something said appendix to me, so I went to see general surgeon, and he removed my appendix through a laporoscopy (Apr., 2000); the pathology report was pos. for acute appendicitis.  Happy endddding??  No!!!!!!  At the beginning of August the pain came back.  Now I'm taking Vioxx, it helps sometimes.  I had anotheer CT scan last week, ovarian cysts again.  I don't know what to think anymore!!!!!  The whole thing has totally worn me out.  What I would give to be pain free for a month (or even a week!!!!!!).
