What Causes Excessive Weight Loss And Abdominal Pain On The Left Side?

My grandson has lost 78 pounds in the last year. He has sharp pains in his left side and he cannot eat anything without vomiting it up. He has many many tests and an opertion to remove leigons from his pancreas but noting helps and the VA cannot find out what is problem is. He is slowly wasting away and he tells me he can feel his system shutting down because he cannot eat.

Pulmonologist 's  Response
Hello,

In my opinion, you should get done ultrasound abdomen to rule out any internal abdominal pathology. If ultrasound is normal, get done CT thorax.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
