For the past 6 months I've been having intermittent pain in my upper right abdomen (about half way between where a bra band would be and my belly button, towards the right).
It's a burning, pressing type pain; occasionally intense but is short lasting, other times it's a general pressing pain. Can be at any time of day or night, can't identify a trigger like after or before eating.
Beneath where the pain is, there's a small lump. It's "moveable" and doesn't protrude so I can only feel it when I'm pressing on my tummy. It's been there a bit before the pain started.
I don't suffer from acid reflux or digestive / toilet problems.
My GP suspected gallstones so arranged an ultrasound but results showed gallbladder, pancreas, liver, kidneys, spleen all normal.
I did a H Pylori stool test which came back negative.
GP acknowledged I don't have reflux symptoms but asked me to try 4 weeks of Omeprazole to see if it provided any relief. I'm a few days off finishing the course and there's been no improvement.
GP said at last appointment that next step might be a gastroscopy.
I'm at a loss at what might be wrong. GP seems to be quite methodically going through the common causes of pain in that area but he seemed to be stumped. I am getting concerned I'll end up with a shrug of the shoulder and left to get on with it like I have with a suspected autoimmune issue (the bar for rheumatology accepting referrals in my area which I read seemed insanely high so another GP within my GP practice is basically left trying to treat the symptoms).
I would be really interested to know if anyone else has experienced these symptoms and what it ended up being. I'm not looking to diagnose myself but I think it might be helpful to go to my next appointment with pointers for discussion.
