What Causes Rapid Weight Loss And Soreness Under Right Rib Cage?
My husband has lost 6 pounds in the last 6 weeks. He just had an endoscopy and a colonoscopy. The gastroenterologist found an infection in his esophagus. Right after the tests he started feeling a soreness on his right side near his rib cage. Today went for MRI and will have results read by gastro doctor tomorrow.I am worried. Any cause for alarm at this point?

hello there
No need for an alarm.. the gastro just found a helicobacter pylori infection in the gut for which he will give a kit to be taken for 21 days and you will be fine
Not to worry
all will be well
