Hello, I have been having intermittent, crampy pain in my upper abdomen ever since I had an EGD with biopsies of my esophagus, Antrum, and duodenum. The procedure was five days ago, and while the pain hasnt worsened (and certainly isnt intolerable) Im wonderiing if this is common, and also curious as to what might be the cause. Thanks.
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. There are many possible causes but most common are gastritis, HERD, gallstones or IBD. When you rule these out then some more serious diagnosis should be considered. You should change your dietary and lifestyle habits and see will it improve. This is the best treatment. Also, you should take some antacid medicines. To check your liver, gallbladder and pancreas you should do abdominal ultrasound and then plan further tests. Wish you good health.
