As of a week ago I was perfectly fine and over at a friends place, We split on a pizza and both ate like half of it, I still felt fine, Later I went home and had rather extreme stomach and intestinal pain, Upon using the washroom it burned very badly, Over the course of a week the pain has become so bad I cant eat anything at all without it getting worse, Or drink anything and hardly sleep, I Just at the bottom of my ribcage on the left side there is this constant burning pain that never goes away, If I walk too much you can bet it gets worse, To me it feels like whatever is there is causing bile to constantly leak into my stomach which then goes to my intestines and well..Exits, I also burp up acid or whatever this is right after eating even if its a small amount, My health card expired the 28th of last month and ive been trying to get it renewed so I can get help but as my title says..Im scared, Im really scared, I have no idea what this might be and no amount of anti acid or any medication helps, Something similar to this happened to me a few years back except it was nowhere near this extreme, I almost want to say to heck with being billed and go to the ER anyways ..But I don't have the money for that so I have to just try and live with whatever this might be, Ive thought maybe its to do with the gallbladder? But I don't know. Sorry if this is in the wrong spot or not even something really for this forum I mainly just needed to get it out there I suppose.

You really need to be seen by a doctor to determine the cause of your pain. Did you happen to have any alcoholic beverages recently?

I agree, you really need to see a doc. Don't know where you are from, but do you have/did you have a primary care doc that you could still call and go see? That part would be cheaper than ER visit, but they may send you for testing and/or to a specialist, and the costs would add up. Not really sure if ER or the other way would be better, but sounds like you really should see a doctor, and soon. Not worth possibly doing damage to your insides, and if you can't really eat or drink, trouble sleeping because of it, and can't do much physical activity (like walking), I'd say it's time to get things checked out.

Hope you go see the doc soon, I know it's tough when you don't have insurance to help cover the cost, but you and your health are worth it! Feel better soon and let us know what happens!!

First in answer to your post, I as of now have a family doctor however, My records need to be transferred over before he will even begin to diagnose anything wrong with me as he doesn't know any of my medical history, My old family doctor retired 2 years ago so Ive been without a doctor for sometime, I live in Canada by the way. I also do not drink, Smoke or anything like that.

Well.. I went to see a doctor, No tests were really done he just felt around and said I have Gastritis? Probably not the correct spelling and he prescribed Tecta, On the plus side.. The acid issue has stopped and I can eat however the downside that one spot I had pain before has not stopped infact it has become worse, The area throbs and not only that Its sore constantly, I cant bend over really or touch it without causing even a slight bit of pain, Its gone from under my rib to all the way down near my belly button, All that area is sore, Gurgles quite often and quite honestly it feels bruised Like something hit me there extremely hard which is not the case! I am worried because well.. I don't know what it is, Ive had it before but nowhere near this extent and tests were done before which came up as nothing at all, I don't think this is nothing at all for how it feels and the fact it is not showing any signs of getting better especially when what I thought the cause was is pretty much gone. The thing is also.. I cant tell exactly where this pain starts or is even, I mean I cant tell its my stomach which I am sure it is or something else? The middle of the bottom of my ribcage is also becoming sore, It also throbs and gurgles as well, One odd thing is sometimes I will feel there and it almost feels like something is there but upon touching it, It goes away..I -really- think I should go to a walk in or something, I mean Ive already been but I don't see it being what he said at all, Or.. -Could- it be damage from the acid issue I had I mean that's what I assumed it was but then it wouldn't worsen correct? I don't expect you guys to answer my questions as I am aware you are not doctors and online advice isn't always correct, Suppose Im more venting my concerns it will also help come time when I do go to a doctor which shouldn't be in too long, Maybe even tomorrow, Something has to be figured out that's all I know.

Well uhm.. A bit of a change of events, I went to bed last night with a very painful stomach, I figured I would go to bed and head to the walk-in the next day well come 1:30am I awoke very suddenly and headed to the bathroom where.. Well I don't think I have to go into detail about what happened, Despite trying to go several times that day and nothing it was odd to wake up so suddenly and go I guess a lot of the pain was due to how backed up it was, This wasn't the runs as some call it though..It was a little bit at the end aanyways! Main paint is I went back to bed with my insides still hurting I woke up and to my surprise I stood up and no pain, Nothing.. So I ate something small and well I felt nauseous, That one spot where I felt pain right from the start when this all began doesn't really hurt but I notice it and its not that bad, Its almost like its starting up all over again, As in I notice it gurgle, I feel a veeery slight burning sensation there and if I eat, I burp or hiccup almost instantly and my stomach becomes nauseous as I said before, Should I just go with this? Whatever it was I would still like to know though I really doubt that I will, It -seems- to be healing for the time being,I'll just have to see how tomorrow goes, Im still worried it will flare up.

I should also add I seem to have gas a lot but its like hard gas if you get me, and is always feels trapped though Ive had tests done before and there is nothing blocking anything, This is just all so confusing especially when nobody knows whats up well they said Gastritis but that wouldn't explainthe bile issue that seems to be going away would it? Sorry for so many questions.
