Q: discomfort in upper right abdominal area for more than 2yrs
Abdominal pain is definitely debilitating. I'm not surprised it affected your job performance. Also, going to the doctor can be frustrating if they can't figure out how to help you. If I were in your shoes, I'd spend some time doing reading and research on my own. There are a lot of books that may help. Go to your library (or Amazon, if you don't mind spending a little money...it may be worth it) and research digestive issues. You might look up irritable bowel syndrome, intestinal discomfort, food allergies, etc. With some more knowledge, you'll be better prepared to find the right doctor, diet, therapy or medication that will help you.
Do you have friends or family who can help you and be supportive? At this point you are probably worn down from your illness and a fresh perspective might help. Let them guide you a bit, you could use it right now.
I am having this exact same problem. My right abdomen has a chronic pain. It feels like something is in there. If I lay on my right side on a soft bed the pain gets worse. Stretching offers some relief. I have had a CT, Contrast MRI, ultrasound, Endoscopy, Colonoscopy, capsule endoscopy, hydrogen breath test, and seen about a dozen specalists. None of which can diagnose this. The pain sometimes travels from my lower right abdomen to just below my rib cage. I have taken bentyl, hyomax, antibiotics, etc trying to remedy the problem. Vicodin sometimes helps relieve the pain but not the discomfort. I have a nerve condition called brachial neuritis in my right shoulder and am wondering if the nerves throughout my abdomen are also inflicted with this problem as well.
I am ready for any diagnosis, even if it's a bad one only to know what is going on.
This has effected my work life, my social life, and my marriage life (sex life is almost shot). Luckily my wife understands.
