hi I have had abdominal pains/discomfort for 2 months now plus a continual restless legs feeling within the abdomen and groin . The pain affects the left flank and lower back , but the worst is just above the belly button which is very tender. When this area is pressed with finger tip pressure it causes a very sharp pain that radiates to the back. I m waiting for an ultrasound in two weeks but it can t come soon enough
Hi. Thanks for your query. Read the history and understood the problems. You have pain and tenderness in the upper abdomen which on pressure causes pain in the back. This means you have some problems related to the Gastric Ulcer, Gastric cancer or pancreatic problem such as pancreatitis or a Pseudo-cyst of the pancreas. The other symptoms may or may not be related to these problems. I would advise you the following:Do not wait for the appointment for the ultrasound which is 2 weeks away. Go to the ER, get a CT scan of the whole abdomen to find the reason, upper GI Endoscopy and get a final diagnosis. Start PPI, and get symptomatic treatment till you get the reports and go for the definitive treatment as per the reports and the clinical evaluation by a General Surgeon or a Gastroenterologist.
