I have GERD and I am taking my medications, however I start to have a lot of pain in my body, specifically in my back, shoulders, and in one leg. Is this normal. I have this disease since I was 20 years old , currently I am 36, but I never had a pain like this in my body. Thank you

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of pain in back, shoulders and leg of a person with GERD . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like acid reflux , helicobacter pylori , gastritis or food intolerance. Shoulder , back and leg pain can occur due to nerve injury , pinched or compressed nerve ( Sciatica ) , which may occur due to your disc bulged problem , so consult orthopedic surgeon . You should not lay down immediately after having food and avoid intake of outside food. You should go for exercise on daily basis. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order ambulatory acidity test , endoscopy , allergy test and stool test . Doctor may also you to avoid certain food like dairy products , nuts and seafood . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics for h pylori along with omeprazole and antacid . For now avoid the above mention food , eat light and non spicy .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
