Back and abdominal pain and diagnostics Posted: 03-15-08 03:28am
Severe lower back pain with pain in
stomach right under breast line. If I
drink milk, or eat dairy products, it goes
away fairly quickly. I had my gall
bladder removed about 8 years ago, but
that is what the pain feels like in my
back and stomach.......just like it did
when I had my gall bladder. What could be
causing this pain? Sometimes, I also feel
pressure in stomach (like gas) and mouth
becomes very watery. I feel as if I am
going to vomit. The feeling then goes
away after a few min and I feel normal
again. What could cause this to
happen?

This pain (“severe lower back pain with
pain in stomach right under breast
line”) could be due to a stomach or
duodenum disorder (gastritis, duodenitis,
diverticulum, peptic ulcer, tumor, etc.).
Chronic pancreatitis and bile duct
obstruction can also cause similar
symptoms. You may want to request an
abdominal ultrasound scan and gastroscopy
to reveal the true diagnosis. Standard
blood analyses (blood count,
sedimentation, hemoglobin, bilirubin, AST,
ALT, urea, creatinin…) may also be
requested.
