If Anyone Can Offer An Explination... Posted: 06-05-05 17:04pm
I'm 19 and I haven't changed to a "adult
doctor", as my mom would say. The reason
i'm writing this because I have, what I
call, attacks. I had my first attack
about 2 years ago, it was so intense that
I was taken to the er. They consist of
intense pressure and sharp pains in the
lower ab region. The second attack was
about 2 months ago. Between those two I
thought I had become lactose intolerant
and that was the reason for the pain. But
slowly I started eating less. The less I
ate the less it hurt. Last attack was so
intense that although I didn't have the
guts to go to the er I sent the entire
time running between bathroom and bed.
Next day I went to the doc and was given
nexium and was diagnosed with gastritis.
But the more I research the symptoms the
less it sounds like what I have. There
are symptoms like vomiting and nausea that
I don't have at all. All I have is
intense pain, stabbing like, about 5 inchs
directly below my belly button, around the
intestines. Theres no lower rib pain, or
anything. I've been taking the medicine
everyday since it was prescribed but I
think I forgot one day and that was the
day of the third attack. The medicine
seems to be working but its not curing it
just preventing it.
Is there anything else that gives the
symptoms I have but can be relieved by
nexium?
I'm so lost.

Regarding Your Pain Posted: 06-06-05 18:57pm
Please go to your doctor and request an
endoscopy test where they have u take a
type of dye and see if there is any
blockages in your inestines or bowels. U
may have irritable bowel syndrome or some
sort of blockage
