Suggest Treatment For Severe Belching After Eating And Lower Back Pain

Question: I have had a history of acid reflex. Test show that I have twice the normal amount of acid in my stomach. I usually have a lot of belching of gas and pain between my shoulder blades. I have been on omeprazole or nexium for 12 years. About four weeks ago I started belching really bad after eating again with some pain in my lower back right side. The more I would belch, the less pain I would have. I went to a Med clinic while in Florida and he put me on Carafate and Dexilant for two weeks. No change except the pain in my lower back has become very sharp at times and especially if I twist or turn. It feels like it is right in my spine at times. I have a good appetite and am not nauseous. The Dr. recommended I go and see a Gastroenterologist which may take weeks so I'm trying to decide that or emergency room or fly back to Mi. to see my family Dr.

No and I have a good appetite, not nauseous but have sharp pains after I eat toward the bottom on my rib cage in the middle and right side.
