I had a EGD and Colon done, have the colon done every 3 years due to a history of Polyps. The Dr. told my husband I had 3 small polyps, two he removed the third was too small. He found a small area of what he was not sure was inflamation or the start of an ulcer in my stomach. The biopsy came back as inflamation.

I had the Egd done because of symtoms but when I had my appointmnt with the Dr. all I saw was either a N/P or a Drs. assit. She came in without a chart, told me what the Dr. told my husband, I was asking her ?? and out she walked with no answers.

I was told through other colons that I had severe diverticulous and iBS. Nothing was said about this.

My symtoms are nausea, pain in my stomach, throat burning, burping. I can eat anything and no probems with these symtoms and all of a sudden they can appear.

I have left sided rib pain that at times goes through my breast up to my shoulder, breast tightness and soreness. My ribs are tender to the touch and I have this more than I do not have it. seems to get worse when I lay down.

The nausea and much of the stomach pain seems to be relived by rolaiRAB but not the other pains. The Dr. prescribed protonix, took it for 3 weeks and had diarrehia several times a day from it so I stopped taking it.
Did nothing to help anyhow.

I was suppose to return to the Dr. in two weeks again but cancelled, if my ?? cannot be answered, why go.

I do have fibromyalgia, cervical hernations, arthritis in my neck and upper spine, costochondriis and fibrocystic breat disease.

I had ekg's done and an echo and they were fine

I really think it is a digestive problem but not sure with the symtoms. I had my gall bladder removed years ago.

Thanks, Linda
 
I would search for another GI specialist. One dr doesn't have all the answers.

Does your insurance have a nurse-line to call (you can ask them medical questions)?

Good luck!

I'm no Doctor but the rib, shoulder and breast pain could be caused by your cervical spine herniation and arthritis. I get neck, shoulder, chest and armpit pain from tight muscles in my neck. I have very mild gatritis, that's stomach inflamation, which causes much the same symptoms as you described. I take nexium which pretty much takes care of that. If you aren't happy with your Doctor then find a new one. All the best.
