fibromyalgia
I was recently diagnosed with barrett's esophagus. I still have stomach pain even though I am on Omerprazole 20mg. Why is that happening? The Dr. didnt tell me anything after the test except to take the Omerprazole. Could something else be wrong?
I suffer from fibromyalgia and neurophy daily. When the pain is severe I can hardly stand it. Are there any new approaches to this condition. I am taking vicoden, cymbalta, pamelor and neurotyn?
Been diagnosed with fibro for abt last 8 yrs. and I have these spells every so often. Get gassy, constipated & passing only small, pellet -like stools with pain in thighs ( inside ) and back across hips. Sometimes have burning in mouth, esophagus and in abdomen as if I have a lot of acid.. Until I get bm's regulated again, nothing seems right. I suspect that I don't drink enough water may be one cause.---- something that is easy to remedy if i just remember to do it.
ve lost in a month and a half because of not wanting to eat due to pain. This Saturday, I had another bad spasm attack while I was sitting in the movie theater, probably from pressure of sitting even though I hadn't eaten anything in hours. The next day, I started feeling pressure after I ate anything and now I get pressure and pain when I eat or drink anything. I haven't had a good nights sleep since this started.
For the past couple of months, my 59 year old mother has been complaining off and on about esophagus pain when she swallows and I have been extremely worried about it. She did go to the gastro doctor in November and mentioned it to the doctor, but unfortunately isn't scheduled for an endoscopy until mid-January.
Well now, I have the same heavy, sometimes stinging (when I stretch or sneeze), pain in my chest but also some pain in my shoulders and headaches (and strange stiffnesses in my head and neck that come and go). There are also pains in my throat that are somewhat sharp. None of the pain is continuous but they are persistent. Also, I had an odd occurrence this morning.
s esophagus, a condition in which the color and composition of the cells lining the lower esophagus change because of repeated exposure to stomach acid. Barrett's esophagus is a risk factor for esophageal cancer.
But i wouldnt jump to assume thats it, maybe a CT or a MRI could show better results for something less serious.
Hello all
I am so overwhelmed with GERD! Currently I am on Nexium twice a day plus Maalox and still have symtpoms. My throat and nose are burning. My stomach is upset and can't seem to eat anything! I have been reflux problems for about 4 years now and it has NEVER been this bad. Sometimes food seems to be stuck in my throat/chest. On top of all theses symptoms I am extremely tired and have joint pain.
Extreme physical exhaustion. Have been in hospital 3 times for chest pain and arm pain thinking I was having a heart attack. Most recent visit excruciating pain under right breast in ribs. He sent me to a rheumatologist because he believes it is fibromyalgia. The rheumatologist is adamantly against diagnosing pts w/fibro. Went back to neur. because the headaches are so intense I am now on a medical leave. He ordered a spinal tap to rule out ms and lymes. I am now awaiting the results.
Did the Ear,Nose and Throat doctor check you for a pocket or pouch in your esophagus? That would cause similar symptoms. Some people have a condition that causes the esophagus to spasm or close and they need to have it stretched from time to time.
A friend of mine had Scleroderma and had to have her throat stretched. Not saying you have that... but would be best to see a specialist.
Wishing you the best prognosis!
Hello. I am new to this whole online medical community, but I officially have no where else to go. I join this in hopes to help find an answer about my mothers conditions.
My mother is 52 years old and is dying before our family's eyes. Over the past few years her problems have just taken a turn for the worse and no doctor will even take the time to run tests.
Concerning the condition of Acid Reflux,(heartburn) are the onset and symptoms of this condition attributed more to the Lower Esophageal Sphincter weakening, not being strong enough to return to a properly closed/sealed state after ingestion, or, could we attribute the on-set and symptoms more to muscle distension which would allow excessive or unused acidic content to force its way easily back into esophagus since the only direction unused acids can go if not down is up?
I was told 3 yrs ago that I have both Nutcracker Esophagus and Achalasia. I was told the only help was botox, yes BOTOX shots in my esophagus. The water trick is great for those for whom it works. Unfortunately, if I attempt to put anything in my esophagus during a spasm, it comes right back out plus I get to choke on it. Not much fun and more painful than words can describe. I have a lot of chest pain and nitro is the only thing that even begins to help.
i have pain in my right side under my rib cage but i have already had my gall bladder taken out. What could that possibly be?
I have to accept that i will probaly have a sore throat, ear ache, tinitus, tmj,etc on the right side of my throat and face and will learn to manage it like the rest of my fibromyalgia pain. I am getting referred to a speach therapist, apart from that i am not sure where to go from here or how to manage this problem, but i know i have to or let this problem win. good luck lynn.
I am trying to do some research for my brother who has been struggling with terrible intermittent pain in his esophagus for the last 4 years. He has been to the mayo clinic where he underwent a battery of tests and had numerous other tests with other doctors trying to figure this out, to date he has had no relief. He is on medication for GERD, and has been prescribed pain medication. He is miserable and all this has produced anxiety and a lot of stress. He is now in an anti-depressant.
Afterwards he improved but never fully recovered. He kept having pain but not the reflux. The pain continued to get worse until he started having "Heart Attack" type pain aprox. 4-5 yrs. after the original surgery. His original Doc moved to Colorado. Now he has a different Doc. He went through all the tests again except this time he had a motility test done. It showed his esophogus clamping instead of snaking.
What can be done about the chronic Fibromyalgia pain when I am allergic to pain medicines or the pain relievers do not give relief.
I am now having pain in the upper part of my chest, some tenderness in my breasts(both) and under my arms. Are these symptoms of an Iodine deficiency? I am so frustrated since even after all the lab work, xray, ultrasound and MRI, we are not closer to an answer.... I am scheduled for an appt with an ENT next week..but don't even think he can help since it doesn't feel like my throat it feels more like my neck, glands or something along those lines...but nothing shows in the MRI....
First off, I was diagnosed with Barrett's about a year ago. It was in the very first stages and my GI wasn't too worried about it. I just have to get yearly endoscopy's to check up on it, which one is coming up. Now, for the past month, I've been having pain in my upper left abdomen that has been getting progressively worse. The pain has now spread to my back and other parts of my abdomen and into my chest. It is so bad now that it keeps me up at night.
