Upper Right Flank Discomfort?

Question by M524J: Upper right flank discomfort?
I have had this pain since Oct. I thought it was alcohol consumption b/c I had increased drinking so stopped and pain continued. Along with upper right flank pain (more like discomfort/tightness) that worsens throughout the day, I have constipation and hemorrhoids. I have had increased stress, and been less active. I went to my docs and they found increased red blood cells, and low Vit D. They gave me Vit D booster that did help with the fatigue but no other symptoms. Went to ER in Jan, CT Scan said everything was within normal limits besides what may look like endometriosis and cyst in liver (too small to characterize) and kidneys. Went to endometriosis specialist since my Aunt had the same condition and they said I had Stage 1 endometriosis around my rectum and bladder. Relieved I waited after my surgery to see if condition would improve. Surgery was in Feb. and still same symptoms. I have lost a lot of weight and already a petite women, my appetite has decreased as well. I had a friend who had a lot of “stomach problems” and her boyfriend has bile gastritis and taking antibiotics. I have just made an appt with an gastroenteritist, but unfortunately that is not until April. I have an appt with primary who is also hard to see at the end of month. My quality of life is decreased and stress, anxiety, and depression has set in. I do not drink anymore and have been a smoker since 14 on and off. I am a 28 y/o stay at home mom. I feel bad that all this health issues have made it difficult to have the energy and motivation to continue all the activities with my 2 1/2 year daughter. Also concern it may be contagious and should worry about my husband and daughter. I just want a resolution and stop being passed from dr to dr. I also in Jan saw my original OB/GYN and urologist. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions.

Q&A: Why Does My Upper Body Feel Like It’s on Fire Inside?

Question by whoknows: Why does my upper body feel like it’s on fire inside?
Six days ago this ordeal started….I was sitting on the couch watching tv and all of a sudden my vision got weird (looked like a heavy fog was in the room) of course I freaked out! My chest, stomach, throat, and arms started burning like they were on fire inside… I pleaded with the people in my household to get me help (If i ask for help they know something’s up because I usually just keep to myself). 12 minutes later the ambulance showed up, but I thought I was going to die…I was telling people that I loved them and everything. They did EKG in the ambulance and at the hospital, chest x-ray, and blood test. Said everything was fine…the ambulance guy called my vitals in and said i was tachacardic or something…. They released me (I have no insurance) said my blood pressure was low and to go home and lay flat for a few days….also said the diaganosis was “syncope” which i never fainted…..but anyways I slept for 2 days before having my family take me to another hospital…the got records from first hospital and said everything looked fine…then he ran 2 tests they didn’t…which was a gallbladder and liver blood test….then he said my tests were abnormal and to go home and schedule an appointment with my pcp to have an outpatient gallbladder ultrasound done…. this guy also gives me a script for prevacid 40mg per day and phenergan 25mg as needed…. so my doctor gets me in 2 days later and says he doesn’t think it’s my GallBladder…says the blood results from the hospital show my liver numbers were abnormal…but he will schedule a GB ultrasound if it will make me feel better…..then he prescribes me a medication for high bloodpressure because my numbers where high when I seen him (which they only tested once and I was nervous)…SO I have 3 different “diagnosis” and NOT A CLUE as to what is going on. I am still having these problems and they are scaring me BADLY…I have a 5 year old son I need to be here for…..anyone have any idea what might be going on with me? My ultrasound isn’t for 2 months (gotta love the un-insured life).
