Brief Answer:
CT scan of upper abdomen

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I have gone through your reports

Since you are having pain in your stomach below your ribs i would advise you to do a CT scan of upper abdomen

Since you are having pain in between shoulder blades you also need to do a bone scan

You also need to take H2 receptor antagonist group of drugs before food with your doctors advise
