Numb Sensation in Upper Right Quadrant: I have been to my GI doctors about this problem and they all do not have an answer for why I would have an uncomfortable numb sensation in my stomach area under my rib. I am only in my twenties but have been diagnosed with both gastroparesis and chronic pancreatitis in the last year, which are finally tolerable and now I have this problem. The doctor said it would not be either of these illnesses causing it. What could this be and what can I do to prevent it from getting worse. Could this be endometriosis as I seem to notice it getting stronger and stronger as my period approaches?

Abdominal Pain Answer A15661
Hi,
Welcome to the forum. I am really glad to help you out. The numbness doesn’t seem likely due to the gastroparesis or pancreatitis or for that matter endometriosis. None of these illnesses are known to result in the involvement of the nerves causing the numbness.

I’ll suggest taking methylcobalamin tablet for 3-4 months as the deficiency of methylcobalamin is quite common and its deficiency can result in areas of numbness in the body. Apart from that, you don’t need any other tests to look for the cause of such numbness. You should consult a neurologist for the same as it is not possible to diagnose online. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
