Common Questions and Answers about Severe stomach pain in upper abdomen
stomach-pain
for six year now i have serious issues with my stomach. right in the middle of my upper abdomen. every few months out of seemingly no where, it begins to hurt, like a stabbing pain. it usually becomes so intense that i am vomiting, and curled up for a few hours 'til it passes. often times the pain does not go away until i puke up bile (which is gross).
In the past few weeks I've been experiencing pain in my upper abdomen that is more intense when I'm sitting. It's also uncomfortable to sleep on my side, I have to make sure to sleep on my back during the night. I'm a healthy 31 yr. old women who had surgery a couple of months ago to remove a cyst from a ovary. Could this be a side effect from the surgery that was months ago?
I would further investigate the stomach and upper digestive tract, which can result in left upper abdominal pain. This can be done with an upper endoscopy, which can exclude GERD, inflammation or an ulcer. REFLUX. WOULD THAT STAY IN ONE SPOT FOR 2 MONTHS? INFLAMMATION? WOULD THE ANTIBIOTIC TAKE CARE OF IT? WOULD IT BE IN ONE SPOT FOR 2 MONTHS? ULCER? WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THAT?
If negative, a colonoscopy can be performed to look for lower GI causes. WHAT COULD WE FIND IN A COLONSCOPY?
Today I’ve been experiencing a stabbing-like pain, only occasionally and usually instant, in my upper left abdomen about an inch or so down from my rib cage. This pain seems like it goes straight through me or around my side sometimes and too my back when it happens. I’ve felt somewhat of a dull ache in this spot for a while but just today, it’s started turning into stabbing like sensations. Any idea what this could be?
I have been having pain under my left rib cage and in the middle of my chest, where my sternum is. Dr prescribed Aciphex about 2 weeks ago. I haven't felt relief yet. It doesn't get better or worse with food. Had an Upper GI & Small Bowel series done on Thursday, all clear. After the barium test, I had severe pain in RLQ, thinking appendicitis but the pain didn't stay. Could it have been an allergic reaction to the barium?
I had an ultrasound on Friday, pelvis and abdomen...

If you find the cause of this please make an update post. I also am suffering from this almost to a tee. Severe stomach pain. Abdominal shooting pains all over upper and lower abdomen. Oddly colored BM's. This is awful. Maybe see about getting her to get a CT scan or an abdominal ultrasound and blood work. I think that is what i'm going to shoot for to try and get to the bottom of this. I think I have pancreatic ca but i'm only 26 and that is rare but possible.

The pain you are describing is text book when it comes to gallstones. Pain in the upper right abdomen, that radiates to you upper right back.
If you experince that this pain gets worse and you are vomitting with a fever you may have a stone stuck in the common bile duct. This is extremely dangerous and could lead to pancreatitis. It's effects range from mild to severe and if an infection ensues even death.

But yesterday I had a onset of severe pain to my upper abdoman in the middle. That came with the shakes, shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea and clammy feeling. This pain was definately 10/10 the only way to describe it was it was like contractions. I could hardly stand at one point and felt like I would pass out. I was rushed to A&E. They took a few tests. They all came back normal, except for my liver function which came back slightly abnormal.
My stomach pain became increasingly more severe, concentrated around my upper left abdomen. I would get a stabbing pain in my abdomen followed by a sort of cramp like uncomfortability. I went to my student health center and they had stool and blood samples done, only to find no abnormalities. I then had an ultrasound done on my entire abdomen, also checking out normal. I tried to limit my diet to things like bananas, bread, broth...
hi. my sister, age 13 is in severe pain since a month...her pain is mainly in the upper midline abdomen..initially she had episodes of chills with high fever arnd 103F..and thus was admitted to the hospital..she was checked for everything..typhoid,malaria,dengu,leptospirosis.,everything was normal..,just like d xray was normal. We even went for an ultrasound which reported minimal pleural effusion n minor spleomegaly and the CT showed axial and pleural lymphadenopathy.
I have had severe cramping in my upper abdomen. My abdomen involuntarily draws up. I had been diagnosed with IBS over 18 years and I thought this was a flare up. On occasion I get relief from eating. My PCP indicated that it may be a duodenal ulcer. I initially noticed this occurrence after running. I was relaxed and standing in front of the mirror when my stomach just drew up. Any thoughts?
Hi,
Abdominal pain could be due to a number of different conditions.Not all abdominal pain lead to stomach cancer.
An upper GI endoscopy and ultrasound scan of abdomen may be helpful for initial evaluation of your abdominal pain.

I have occasional stomach cramps it lasts about 20-30 minutes per attack happening several times per week but lately daily. It usually is in my lower quadrant of my abdomen on my center to left side. I break out in sweat as I sit on the toilet thinking I need to use the toilet. I can hear gurgling in my stomach and occasionally have gas. Some times it is accompanied by diarrhea, sometimes not. When I feel like I go to the bath room I feel as though I am giving birth through my back side.
Infemales,ovarian cysts can also cause pain in abdomen usually in lower part but it can be a referred pain in upper abdomen also.So ovarian cysts also have to be ruled out.
Confirmation can be done only after ultrasound or CT abdomen.Blood tests may also be required in some cases.Till the time you consult a doctor,pls take some over the counter pain reliever like ibuprofen or diclofenac.
Hope it helps.
I have had severe chronic pain in my upper abdomen behind and below my ribcage for months and it is getting worse. Sometimes it feels like my diaphram is involved. At times it feels hard to take a breath . The pain radiates straight across and is dominant on my left side and straight around to my back. I feel like I have been punched in the stomach and in a permanent sit up position.
These are my exact symptom and am wondering if the original post found any relief.
I had my gallbladder removed in November of '07. I have been having what feels like gallbladder attacks off and on since then. One of the attacks lasted for eight hours and was bad enough to send me to the ER though they did no imaging of my abdomen and did only blood work that came back "fine" (not normal mind you, they simply said "fine"). I now have pain upper left/middle abdomen almost all the time.
