Hello, I am a 36 year old woman and I have been in and out of the hospital with pain on the right side of my stomach and I was diagnosed with a fatty liver and Hepatitis they said non-viral. I also had a lot of pain on my rib and the GI doctor said that I had a slipped rib? He gave me pain patches and that seemed to help a little.
I now have pain in the center of my stomach and the GI doctor said that it was my chose if I wanted to do an endoscope when I asked what we might be looking for he said that it could be an infection or an ulcer. I have decided not to do the scope. I have been on Prilosec for about 2 month twice and day and there has been no difference. I have also stay away from anything high in fat and acid. About 1 week ago I got a stomach bug and I have not been feeling good since them. Should I be worried??
