I have had stomach pain for about 5 months
,had a gastroscopy 3 months ago which
showed gastritis since then its gotten
worse .Saw the doc today and he booked me
in for a consultation with the gastro
doctor .Have been told I should ask him
about a ultrasound ,does anybody no if
they work or has anybody had one before?

I have had an ultrasound before.. It's
painless and easy. It's a device that's
almost like a radar and they move it over
your stomach. They can control where
they look. What it will do is id if
there is any inflammation in any of your
organs or any growths. It's a diagnostic
tool so it won't fix anything but it will
give them a better idea of what's going
on. It's probably a good idea to have
one in your case.
