Needs attention: Pain is the body's way of telling you 'something is wrong'. If you have been diagnosed with H. pylori, this is very important because that germ can cause ulcers in the stomach and upper intestines. If there's an ulcer there, that indeed could lead to significant pain. I would call your doc right away and let them know. Someone should evaluate you properly. At the very least, they can help ur pain.
