General Surgeon,  's  Response
HI.
You have a very atypical problem.
It says 35 year old man has occasional burning pain in the right part of the upper abdomen that goes through right thigh ( same side )
This can be explained only by the nervous system involvement , may be at the spinal level.
I would advise you to have an opinion of a Neurologist and a second opinion of a General surgeon just to rule out any problem in the abdomen , may be with added tests of ultrasonography of the abdomen .
MRI of the whole spine will help us to confirm or rule out any specific problem.
The weight loss is sometines and again this is a atypical presentation and does not really fir into any of the symptoms-complex. Yet this too has to be investigated by doing X-ray chest and blood and urine and stool tests just to rule put any specific diseases.
