What Causes Consistent Pain In My Upper Abdomen?

My ct scan report says is a slightly thickened wall to the fundus of the stomach. This could simply be related to incomplete distention however an underlying inflammatory or neoplastic process could not be completely excluded. What does this actually mean? The ct was ordered for a consistent pain in my upper abdomen right of center at the rib.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
HI.
Read and understood your symptoms and findings.

It is for sure that the slight thickening of the wall of the fundus of the stomach can not cause pain in the upper abdomen right of the center at the rib.

I would advise you to consult a General Surgeon for an actual Physical examination to exclude or diagnose the cause of pain like costo-chondritis. muscle spasm, epigastric small hernia as all these things are not diagnosed on CT scan at all.
The thickening of the fundus of uterus may not be a cancer- the cause being by this time the pains come at other spots the secondaries can be seen on any CT scan oft the abdomen.
