Hi all. So I've been having issues with constant upper abdomenal pain for the past 6 months. The pain radiates to my back and across my upper abdomen sometimes when it's particularly bad. I have a history of gallbladder issues and got my gallbladder removed in Jan 2020. I also had a stuck gallstone last July (2020) that I had an ERCP to remove.
In regards to the current issues, I had an ultrasound in August that was normal. I then had a gastroscope nearly two weeks ago. After the gastroscope I was told that it looks like I'm experiencing pangastritis (my entire stomach lining is inflamed) and they also took several biopsies. I tested negative for a bacterial infection. This stomach inflammation is despite me taking esomprazole for 3 months since I first felt the pain and then lansoprazole for the last three months. Neither of these have helped at all.
I'm quite worried about the biopsies. They didn't tell me what they were looking for. Could it be cancer? I'm 26 years old. I'm anxious to hear if anyone has had a similar experience.
