Q: recurring pain in stomach

I am 55 and have had no problems with my stomach. I went to do a Barium Enema, but it could not be completed because there was so much pain I almost fainted. Since then, I have had pain about 4 inches to the right of my belly button.

I have done a lot of tests to see what the real problem is. The following is a list of tests I've done:
1) Colonoscopy
2) Gallbladder
3) Kidney and Kidney Stone
4) Appendicitis
5) Ultrasound
6) Stomach X-ray
7) uterus/ovary testing

Nothing was found but I'm still having these pains. They occur all the time, they come and go, but I don't feel them when I'm sleeping. Withing 7-10 minutes of waking up it begins to bother me again. Pain is getting more tense compared to a year ago when it first began. I'm taking Liberex at the moment which only provides me with temporary pain relief.

What Kind of Doctor would you suggest I go see?
What is wrong with me?
Will it go away?

Doctor

Why did you perform Barium Enema?
How long do you have these abdominal pains?
Is the pain related with the eating?
Have you ever made gastroscopy?
Have you ever made HIDA-scan for the gallbladder?

Recurring Stomach Pain

I did the barium enema because I used to get constipated a lot. The pains started after teh barium enema aboutt eh 30th of June last year. Sometimes i get it with eating but sometimes as soon as i get up in the morning it starts. I've had a ultrasound for my gallbladder but not an HIDA-scan. and i've had a colonoscopy but not a gastroscopy. Where should I go from here?

Are you still constipated?
Colonoscopy can provide us with information about the large intestine but not about upper digestive tract. You can request gastroscopy for that.
Ultrasound can tell us if there is some stones or tumor in the gallbladder causing the pains but if you have some functional disorder of the gallbladder you can request HIDA-scan.
