What Causes Upper Abdominal Pain Specifically At Night Time?
Dear Doctor, I have been suffering upper abdominal pain for nearly 5 years, specially at night time. I have had all tests done: gastroscopy, colonoscopy, ultrasound, x-rays, MRI, ct scan, barium test, etc and doctors haven't been able to rule anything. Last night I had panadeine forte with no luck. Buscopan works a little.I do not know what else to do, the pain can last hours, days, weeks. I have no other symptoms. I had my gallbladder removed in 2005. Pain started in 2007.A upper abdomen specialist told me I have to learn to live with this and advised to take panadol and buscopan together. I would't like to mask a problem with pain killers....Thanks,Sofia

Hi Sofia.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
I think you need to see a neurologist, GO for MRI of the spine as the spinal conditions can cause the pain you have explained and all your tests are normal.
Try Gabapentin or so, you will get better relief.
