Had severe stomach pains. MRI,X-ray, medicines tried. Still have pain. On aspirin. Suggestions?
Patient: I have had tremindous stomach pains.  I have had MRI, X-Rays, tried new meds and I still suffer from the same pain. To me it feels like it is getting worse but my dr. keeps saying nothing seroious. I went to an abdominal dr. also and he said just to keep on taking the asprin I was taking to help the pain.  What else Can I do? Doctor: Hi,Thanks for writing in.I suppose you have stomach pains for a while now and started taking aspirin for it with some ?new drugs. MRI and X rays have been done for abdomen or any other part is not clear from your query.With this information, I would like you to stop taking aspirin for stomach ache. You may take proton pump inhibitors (pantoprazole, omeprazole ) and some anti spasmodic medication. Aspirin may worsen your pains by causing gastritis and that might exactly be happening with you.As investigations, I suggest you to have complete blood tests and ultrasound scan abdomen. A gastroduodenoscopy (oral endoscopy) might be done if necessary.Hope this helps.
