Q: Could It Be Trapped Gas!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi there I wonder if any one could tell me what they think. Doctors havent been much help :evil: . When I was 7wks pregnant I suffered with what felt lke traped wind under the rib cage left side, it gradually got worse with tummy sore to touch even on the surface of the skin in certain parts.
Towards the end of the pregnancy it was up into my shoulder blades and now 6mths on its still there and very painful. Constantly. Before I fell pregnant I used to pass wind allthe time sometimes quite smelly :oops: . Now I struggle to do anything other than burp not very often though. The doc has told that you cant get trapped wind constanly up into your upper back and that I must have strained it but the pain feels like its trapped wind. I have tried every thing to physio to a chiropractor even they cant feel anything which would cause a back issue. I was told a few years back that I suffer with I b s and constipation. But now the pain has spread across the front lower belly.

Please any advise :(
