pain

Hello, this is what my abdomen  and  digestive system  fells like, Pain occurs  most of the time. This may vary in intensity from mild to severe. It may last for hours or sometimes days at a time and may require strong painkillers to control it.
It often radiates through to the back and can sometimes be relieved by crouching forward. It is commonly brought on by food consumption . The pain varies in nature, being gnawing, stabbing, aching or burning, but it tends to be constant and not to come and go in waves.  Can someone help me find out what is happening to me. Thank you
Jean

I agree with demtlard. You need a CT or ultrasound of the abdomen. Both are pretty painless. Then you go from there is those tests are negative.

Sounds like you need to get an ultra sound on your entire abdomen area, including stomach, gall bladder, liver, kidneys, pancreas, etc. to figure out what is going on.  If that turns up ok, then you probably need a colonosopy, and if that turns up ok, get an MRI on your back.
