I feel like I am going crazy. I have been to 3 doctors who have no clue, I have a bit of swelling in my abdomen where the pain is. It has only been a sharp pain once, other wise it's always tender. My doc wants to do an mri. Am I going crazy? Does anyone have any ideas for help ??? Thanks Question

seems like you may have a problem with you colon or maybe an ulcer. What type of doctors have you been going too. Maybe you should go for a colonoscopy or be check for an ulcer. Good luck !!

I would go with your doc's recommendation and go for an mri. That will give a picture of all organs and show any swelling, irritation or growth.
