Severe Pain In Rib Cage Area Feels Like Sqeezing of Guts Posted: 08-03-05 08:37am
For the past 2 years, the day that I had
my baby, I have had severe pain in my rib
cage area. I have had xrays, cat scans,
blood work, and just yesterday I had an
egd. Everything has been normal and if it
hasn't I have already had the problem
fixed. I had my gallbladder taken out 2
1/2 years ago, so I know that its not
that. I have had kidney stones and its
not that. I thought that it was an ulcer
untill yesterday and they said that it
wasn't. I go to surgerns and drs trying
to find out what it is. My surgern said
that it might be ibs, but I don't think
its that. The pain feels like someone is
inside my rib cage area, and is just
sqeezing all of my guts. It will happen a
few times a week, and it will happen about
6 times a day and last for about 30 min
each time. Its severe pain. I have gone
to the er many times and they can not find
anything. Sitting a different way doesn't
seem to help, and I can not figure out if
it is anything that I have ate, or
anything that I have done to cause the
problem. It just happens whenever. I
have noticed that it would hurt when I
drank liquer.(so I stopped that) they took
a biopsy of my stomach becasue it looked
irritated, and I will know the results of
that friday, but I don't think that will
show anything either. Any one with any
help or suggestions??? Thank you!
