upper abdomen pai

[mommyandgirls]

I have been experiencing pain in my middle upper abdomen for about 2 days now.  It is a constant pain that increased with breathing or laying down.  I do not have constipation.  This pain goes to my spine making it feel like I need to crack my back.  Does anyone have any ideas what it might be?  I am a single mom of 3 little girls and do not have any insurance so I am unable to just go to a dr.  The pain is bad enough that if I did have medical coverage, I would have gone yesterday.  Thank you

hey i know what you are going through.  does the pain go to your ribs and under your breasts?  do you have shortness of breath?  if you answered yes to any of these i would go have your gallbladder checked.

A couple years ago I had this pain that was under my right breast. When I took a breath, the pain spread under my shoulder, around my back to my shoulderblade. It felt like someone was stabbing me with an ice pick. At night, the only was I could sleep was if I had a body pillow. I couldn't even lift my head off my pillow without the pain being so bad I thought I would pass out. I went to the doctor and he sent me off for a barrage of tests. Never found out what it was. The pain took about 2 weeks to go away but I was talking to my aunt and she said it sounded just like plurisy (sp?). Sounds bad, but its not really. Just where the fluid in your lungs dries up and the pain is from your chest plate rubbing against your lungs. Im not saying that's what it is, but your symptoms sounnd a lot like the ones I had. I think the only real danger is it could lead to pneumonia. Hope you find out the cause.
