General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi.

With such a scenario I would first recommend an ultrasound of your abdomen to look for any abnormalities. If this test finds the cause for the pain, we can then work towards relieving you of the pain. But if it doesn't then we should follow up with an endoscopy, followed by an MRI spine. I think if there is some underlying injury causing the pain, we should be able to find it from these investigations.

Best wishes.
