A member asked:

I've had acid reflux & stomach pains (1st lower left, now upper left) for 9 months. all blood work normal but no xrays or scans done. what could it be?

Multiple possibility: Progression on the left side suggests possibly colon in origion but it can also be referred pain from the ovaries. I suggest you start with a pelvic exam to make sure you do not have an ovarian mass. Then proceed with furter imaging as dictated by that exam.

Needs full work-up: You have some type of gerd (gastro esophageal reflux disorder) for nine months. You suffer from abdominal pains, both in the lower and upper left quadrants. These are two problems that require a gastroenterologist to work up, beyond the lab work that you have had. Go.
