What could cause stomach pain that lasts for weeks?
Three weeks ago my stomach started hurting out of nowhere. I had a very upset stomach all night and thought I’d caught a stomach virus or mild food poisoning. The next morning the pain was there but my stomach had calmed down. The pain lasted for days without stopping so I thought I’d had an ovarian cyst rupture (this happened a year ago with the same symptoms).
Went to the doctor and there was no cyst but I had a bladder infection. I took the medication for a week but the pain didn’t go away or the nausea. Went back to the doctor and the bladder infection was gone so they gave me medicine for acid reflux. It didn’t help.
Now, three weeks later, I still have constant stomach pain and pressure on my stomach. It doesn’t stay in one spot and moves between the middle of my stomach and my lower stomach. I also feel nausea a lot. I don’t notice any difference based on when or what I eat. I always feel like I’m starting to get another virus and then it passes. The pain won’t go away and makes it hard to sleep sometimes because it’s very uncomfortable. My doctor had me stop eating or drinking any dairy products. That helped for two days but now it’s coming back again.
Has anyone ever had anything like this? Could he be right and it really does take a few weeks for the body’s digestive system to recover from a stomach virus? The virus only lasted the night though, and I never threw up. The pain and constantly going to the bathroom were the only symptoms that night and I still had the pain after that passed.
