Need examination.: First do not get panicky. Get yourself evaluated by a physician. He or she needs to take your history and examine you. There are many causes of dull aching pain cancer should be thought of but not the primary consideration in 34 years old. Hence physical examination and work up is essential not just symptomatic treatment.

See a doctor: For a pain you have had for 3weeks,please get to see a doctor as soon as possible. You will need physical examination and maybe lab work and radiology examination that is beyond the scope of telemedicine

Have you seen doc?: Regardless of the presence or absence of cancer right now, this ache by itself deserves to be addressed by a physician, especially if you have been self-medicating with Ranitidine to no avail. You should have a doctor examine you an pursue relevant testing.
