Major pain center mass below ribs--yeah we've all talked about it before...

This is something I know many of us have brought up, but I had a question I could not find in old posts....burping.

The pain is (this is a phrase I picked up from my construction husband) dead nuts center of my body. It feels like someone punched me really hard. It hurts when I am hungry and when I eat but slightly less at first. I am full instantly. Not a stricture spot for me. I notice that as soon as I burp (one of those it came from my toes burps), the pain is gone. Temporarily. Yesterday more painful than it ever was in the past. I also had a backache with it...have an appt with my dentist and my GP late May...going to try and get in with my GI that same day.

So in my research, I learned this also could be part of my new CREST dx. But since so many Chronies have posted about it...I would like your thoughts.

So sorry to hear about the additional dx of CREST. I googled around a little bit and learned that Gerd like symptoms are associated with CREST, do you think you might have reflux and it could be stomach acid that is hurting your stomach area? (love the dead nuts center expression, did your husband get out the plumb bob?) I have the raynauds thing too, so you are not alone there. Just too much fun. Hugs to you, hope you get the stomach pain figured out soon.
