Diagnosed With Hiatal Hernia, Gastritis, Duodenitis. Have Pain Under Rib. Right Medication?
I have been diagnosed with a hiatal hernia gastritis and duodenitis,however I am still suffering from unbearable pain under my left rib that pierces through to my back. it is to the point where I can only sit stretched over to right side, bent over or stand up because if i slouch at all it feels like my organs r smashed inside. What is this?

The persisting symptoms point towards two possibilities
1. Inadequate treatment of gastric/duodenal ulcer-failure to adhere to diet or inadequate intake of medicine
2. Missing other diagnosis/alternative diagnosis- from the description of your pain I would also like to think of possibility of duodenal ulcer complication and other possible cause of pancreatitis
I suggest you to get thorough reassessment again. Gastroscopy , ultrasound abdomen and liver function test are some of the investigation you presently need.
Kindly get back to me with the reports so that I can assist you further.
Take care
