Question: I have been struggling with an unknown ailment for nearly 10 months. It is now a struggle EVERY day. Considering that I never have healthy issues and have a very active lifestyle, I am concerned. I jog and watch what I eat, though I no longer have the energy I used to.

My main concern is that I have been bloated since February 2011. Have not gained weight, but clothes fit much tighter in the waist area. I have a dull ache in my upper abdomen that often radiates to the back. I have migraines, pain in my shinbones, hands, feet and mouth all get pins and needles feeling-even upon waking from sleep, and I also have daily belching/gas. I am either constipated or have thin stools at times. When I look at photos, though I haven't gained weight, I look swollen.

I have a great job, great family, and usually love being on the go...though I'm having trouble keeping up. A person knows their body, and I'm not feeling good. Period.

I've had a pelvic ultrasound, which showed what my doctor called a 'normal' cyst on an ovary, but nothing to worry about. I've had bloodwork done, which came back normal.

Also, when I press on my upper abdomen, just under left breastbone...I often shiver in pain. It hurts. Do I need a catscan? I'm usually very positive, and hardly ever need to see a doctor, but I'm beginning to worry.

Thank you.
