Hey everyone, glad to be here.
I’ve been seeing this forum pop up everywhere lately while I'm browsing the web,
so I figured I’d drop in and see if anyone might have some insight...
To give you a little context on what’s going on...
Basically, I’ve been dealing with pain in my upper left abdomen for about a month now.
It's located just a few inches below my ribs.
I had some blood work done and everything looks fine, except for my blood sugar, which was a bit high at 6.8.
My pancreas tests came back totally normal too,
and an abdominal ultrasound showed nothing out of the ordinary. I even saw a surgeon who suggested it might just be neuralgia or a pulled muscle in my abdomen—which is what my primary doctor thinks, too. But honestly, I haven't done anything strenuous enough to cause that, and it doesn't feel like something that would just linger for a full month without letting up.
Standard over-the-counter painkillers aren't doing much of anything...
The pain is constant; sometimes it's sharper, sometimes it's duller, but it does ease up when I'm resting.
Just for clarity, my digestion and bathroom habits are completely normal.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this??
Thanks in advance for any help!
