Question: I have some discomfort in my upper left abdomen and it isnt there constantly. It feels more like a soreness sometimes. I did go to the ER the other day as I have had this issue for the past month. They did a lot of blood test and urine test, then a chest X-ray and everything looked good. Anyways they said it must be muscular. I also occasional have small amounts of what looks like mucus in my stool not a slimy mucus but like a foamy type mucus (sorry not sure how to really explain it). About 2 years ago I had a HIDA scan and everything was normal and I also had a colonoscopy a month or so before that test. Now I have taken a ton of antibiotics in the past years for a prostate issue and noticed I have had gut issues since and even got c diff a little over 2 year ago from a antibiotic. I have always seem to have a tightness in my stomach for the past 5 years and feel bloated. I also have a hiatus hernia and often wonder if that is the issue but I believe i have more going on in my gut from the years of frequent antibiotics use and I did have to use a antibiotic for a sinus infection in the month of November for like 10 days but had almost been 9 months before that since I had to use a antibiotic.

I can sometimes feel a tenderness left center middle abdomen or it could be me being hypersensitive to this issue.

Some days seem worse than others like today not much going on but yesterday I felt a soreness in the area. My fear it that is something more serious but I tend to have health anxiety.

What would make a quick simple pain on touch left center abdomen? Once when touched is is a very slight pain and if you touch it again it doesnt have the same pain or discomfort? Does that sound strange to you?
