Infact, they found nothing wrong with me. The pain in my side continued and eventually seemed to move up into my chest. At random times during the day it would feel like my chest was really compressed. The chest pains started about 3 weeks after the side pain. I went to the hospital and got a Chest X-ray, Blood test and ultrasound. All came back perfectly normal (with the exception of 'sorta thick bile in the gall bladder') according to the doctor. I asked him if it was a gall bladder problem but he said the rest of the gall bladder seemed fine and discharged me from the hospital. I immediately made an appointment with my doctor because I knew this wasnt going to get better on its own, however my do! ctor is booked solid for a month. I've gone to the walk-in clinic after my second visit to the hospital (about 4 weeks into the pain) and the doctor diagnosed me with Gastritis, I took Prilosec for 2 weeks but it did not help overly. The pain in my side now has almost all gone away, but now I have a recurring pain in my stomach, as well as the occasional chest pain. Feeling hungry now does not feel the same as it did before, i know i'm hungry but I dont feel the same as i did before when I was hungry. I have been avoiding unhealthy and greasy foods lately as well as spicy foods and carbonated drinks. My stools have been relatively normal with the exception of occasional constipation, occasionally my stools look like they have tiny roots coming out of them, and occasionally theyre green, almost moss-covered looking. Every night while I go to sleep my stomach gurgles loudly and constantly almost until I fall asleep. Another thing that may be unrelated is lately i've had a bit! of pain in my testicles at random times, I checked for lumps ! and may have found one on my left one at the very top, although it could be the epidymisis. I went to a walk-in doctor to check it out and he said it was nothing, although i've heard from others he is not the most educated or accurate doctor. I will definatley ask my doctor about it when I have an appointment with him.
Current medical treatment: No current medical treatment. Was using Prilosec (Omeprazole) for 2 weeks ending approximately 2 weeks ago."
Given all the negative results from all the medical diagnostic procedures you’ve taken and still continue to research, it seems that you will be satisfied only when you really find something wrong. Cancer does not manifest with “dull moving pain from testicles to chest” . Further, all your diagnostic tests are simultaneously negative. The only diagnostic procedure that remains is a gastroscopy for checking the stomach. If the gastroscopy is ok then the remaining possibility is that you are experiencing hypochondria. Hypochondria is a type of neurotic disorder wherein psycho-emotional suffering manifests by feeling symptoms of various types of organic diseases. Hypochondria can be treated with the help of a mental health professional.
