Could Dull Pain Under Ribs And Stomach With Weight Loss Be Trapped Nerve?

Since August have had dull ache beneath right ribs and also in abdomen 3” below ribs, but tends to not always be in the same spot. It’s discomfort rather than overt pain.



Previously suffered dull ache beneath right ribs (c.2008) and had diagnostic tests, including blood and ultrasound images. Results negative. Recent LFT results negative.



Unexplained weight loss (1.5 stone since September 1).



The amount of food I can eat is restricted as when my stomach stretches it aggravates the abdominal ache.



Doctor says it's a trapped nerve. Had one glass of wine 3 days ago (had 17 units in 4 months) and suffered pinching pain and burning in liver area. Although well in all other respects am now very concerned.

yes, when a nerve is trapped or under pressure by surrounding harder structures this type of symptom can occur. another possibility is acid-peptic disease for that you have to do an upper GI endoscopy with H. Pylori test.

don't do fast or take alcohol in empty stomach.

all the best!
