What Could Prolonged Pain In Left Upper Abdomen Post A Heart Attack Indicate?

Hello I am Laris Brown and I have been to several Dr. s and I have been having severe pain in my left upper abdomen for almost 8 years. I don t really know what is causing the pain and I am on large dose of pain medication. I have had a lot of mri s, catscans, x-rays ultra sounds. The Dr. I have now I have had now for years and he is working from CMAC in Charleston Wva. My pain started in First of November 2008 a week after having a heart attack, I picked up a car battery with my left hand and it felt like ripped my muscle or something loose on the last rib on my left side and it keep getting bigger. I went to the ER and they have been working trying to find my problem ever since. I don t know what is wrong and My Doctors are not able to find the problem. I was a coal miner for years and then I started building Antique Cars and Hot Rod. Now I am not able to do any thing from the pain I am trying to live with.
