Lower Abdominal & Back Pain, Sour stomach. What could it be?

I have on and off lower abdominal pain and lower back pain, to the left side. I was vomiting but not anymore. Still have a sour stomach and feel like I could get sick. I went to the doctor and he gave me an antacid. Looking like it is an ulcer. But, it doesn't help. The pain persists on and off. The abdominal pain is mainly in the middle but occassionaly reaches from the left to the right side. Constantly tired. Never much of an appetite. What could it be? I know people with ulcer's. It doesn't bring them down like this. Also, it feels like I have sometime in my throat. It doesn't hurt, but it almost feels like food. Doctor said it could be acid splashing up, then why don't the pills work? What else could it be?

I had the same the same things plus more a few years ago and the doctor said that I had Mono. I was extremely tired all of the time, but I also had a fever too. As for having the feeling of something stuck in your throat, that does sound like acid reflux. The acid kicks up to your esophagus and will burn it. You will have the sensation of something stuck there and you can't swallow it. It can be from an ulcer. I take Prilosec and it seems to be helping me. Hopefully you will be feeling better soon. Good Luck!!

It could actually be a lower back mis-alignment. Try a consultation visit with a chiropractor. I did and it changed everything. A few visits later and all kinds of improvements happened in my life.

Merry Christmas.

Go to a gastrointestinal specialist!

How long have you been on those pills. Many prescription antacids can take up to a week to start working!

It sounds like Acid Reflux to me. My dad has that and I see the same symptoms in him sometimes.

If you do not feel better by the time your prescription is halfway done, go back to your doc or get a second opinion.

Gosh.....flush your system, drink lots of liquids and take some antacids.....

Relax....

don't laugh but have you did a number2? I think you may have something Elise wrong.Some of this sounds like acid reflux disease but not the r&l pain

It could be colon related. When you have irritable bowel syndrome, it can cause lower abdominal pain and also back pain. You need to either go back to the Dr. you saw or better yet seek another opinion. Tell the Dr. you want to be checked for IBS.
