Tender Stomach, why? blockage? fistula? help

Could be just from being sick, where it will go away in a couple more days.  Whenever I am having a flare, my stomach hurts to press on in the lower left corner (from my perspective looking down at my stomach) and for some odd reason my stomach is always sore to press on anywhere near my ribcage, but plenty of imaging tests have shown that nothing is wrong up there, it just hurts for no reason.  My doctor said it didn't feel like there were any blockages, so apparently you should be able to feel that if it were the case, and he sent me in for the imaging tests to check for strictures and ulcers, which I had neither of and you can apparently only detect with imaging.

I hope your stomach hurts less soon and that it's just temporary from the bad food making you sick.  If your stomach doesn't hurt less, it sounds like you haven't really had that before so you should tell your doctor about it and maybe have some tests done to make sure everything's alright.
