Upper Abdominal Pain

In 2015 while pregnant with twins I started having severe pain mid chest right below my bra line. Being a high risk pregnancy I had weekly sonograms and I mentioned the pain to the doctor thinking it was normal due to my rapidly growing abdomen he had the tech take a look. My gallbladder was completely FULL of stones. I had no option for surgery due to being pregnant. Due to complete placenta previa I knew I was going to have to have a c-section. I had an attack one night and well I really hate hospitals but my dog was extremely in my face he would lick my feet and touch his nose to my forehead. My husband was deployed and I knew I was having an attack but I would get through it. My fur boy was relentless being extremely vocal and knowing I had 2 human beings in my body I went to the ER...

I had a hysterectomy a couple weeks ago and a week later had a blood clot in my right calf. I was prescribed Xarelto 2x 20mg a day. Two days later I had excessive abdominal bleeding. Was told to take only 1 pill for the next 24 hours, the bleeding didn't stop and I was told to stop taking altogether. After 24 hours no bleeding so I was told to start back up (this was just a couple hours ago). As of yesterday I have an intermittent shooting pain in my left upper leg, when it hits me the pain is so strong I almost fall to the ground...then it goes away. I have also gained 4 pounds since I started taking it. I hardly eat as I'm still on paid meds from my surgery so it sounds like this may be a side effect as well. Anything on this horrible leg pain I am suddenly having? It hasn...

Hi, I've been on xarelto for nearly 3 weeks. I started of with pressure & pain in the head then that went away. Then got abdominal pain, then that went away. Then burning in my upper back that went away and now my legs have a burning sensation from my calf to foot and some muscle pain in my shoulder and arms feel like they've been bruised but no visible sign of bruising. I have a small Pe in my left lung due to child birth and the same thing happened 8 years ago due to child birth so no more kids for me. But these burning sensations in my legs and feet come and go all day and night and it's so annoying. What should I do as every time I bring this up to my doctors or hematologist they just brush me of saying it's normal. Well I'm here to say it's not normal, i...

I have been taking pantoprazole 40mg for almost 3 months now and while it helped my abdominal pain after 1 month of use the symptoms are now returning in a milder form. I experience sharp pain in my upper left side ( stomach area), gas and hunger pains that are normally relieved by eating. Lately, the discomfort can be felt on the right side slightly also and in my left side and back. What is going on? Shouldn't the medication help this? ## Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that reduces the amount of acid produced by the stomach, so it can help treat or prevent conditions such as ulcers, GERD, heartburn and gastritis. But it can cause stomach pain and bloating as side effects, so that may be what's causing your problem. Alternatively, you may have something else going on a...

Has anyone gotten severe abdominal pain from taking these pills? I've been on oxycodone for years and never had pain from taking it. My pharmacy switched brands and now everytime I've taken it I've had severe pain in my right, mid to upper quadrant. I've tried eating. I've tried more water. I'm at a loss considering I have 27more days to go till a new script and I'd have to find a new pharmacy. ## Hi Devin, Sorry to hear about your situation. "Stomach pain" is actually listed as a side effect of Oxycodone at: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMHT0011542 NIH.gov goes on to note that you should contact your doctor right away if you experience such symptoms. My theory is that it probably has something to do with the different set of binders/fillers in this ...

I've been prescribed pantoprazole 40mg for recurring gastritis and while I find they are wonderful at removing the gas, hunger pangs and nausea I am still experiencing the upper abdominal gnawing pain in my stomach (albeit to a lesser degree than before, but it is still present everyday). I have no weight nor blood loss and am otherwise healthy. Do I need medication changed or could something else be going on? Thank you ## Well, I myself have a lot of experience in this area, I suffered from it for years and was misdiagnosed quite a few times, until the fact that it was gastritis was actually stumbled upon by an intelligent ER doctor. Anyway, the PPI medications can actually cause that type of pain as a side effect, so that actually may be what's causing it. The same thing happe...

Hello! I recently was switched to the the Sun Pharma version of my Bupropion SR and wanted to know if anyone has experiened or heard of trouble with them. So far, they seem to be doing the job, but I recently have developed some upper (not stomach) abdominal pain which cannot be really pinpointed to anything. (Closest so far is a pinched nerve round the rib cage) Until recently I hadn't really concidered if the switch in medicine could be the reason. Any feedback on this brand's version of Wellbutrin? As a sidenote, I had been taking the Watson version(WPI 839)for about 2 -3 years with no problems, and previously had an extremely poor reaction to Teva (an extreme crash). I've never been lucky enough to afford the read deal so cannot offer any comparisons with that. ## Hello,...

Hi, I was diagnosed to have an acute gastritis last 2010 and still having the symptoms last month. Now, I have severe cold and I have been taking bio flu for 2 days. My concern is, is it okay for me to take bioflu? because yesterday i started to feel the pain in the upper part of my abdomen. Now, I'm planning change bioflu to biogesic (I'm from Philippines). ## Hi Jeenzey, You mentioned having a "severe" cold, too much coughing might cause discomfort or pain in the abdominal muscle. Biogesic is safe and given for fever and mild pain. It could be taken with or without food. I suggest you eat frequently or small frequent meal if you have history of acute gastritis.

Hello, First I want to say I am 56 and almost never have medicaton problems. I had 4 rounds of chemo in 2010 and am doing great. My oncoligist said it would be benifical for me to have Prolia every 6 months. My T score waas good but he thought it would help me later. I had my first (and only) Prolia injection on 12/01/11. Six days later I was in severe pain and went to see my primary care physician and he sent me streight to the emergancy room.I had upper left abdominal pain and fever. I haven't been to the emergancy room in 25 years. Well I had all the usual tests and they thought it might be diverticulitis. New to me I never had that before. My primary doc and my ortho docs told me he didn't think it was diverticulitis and I should not have Prolia again. I am now having some j...
