What Causes Pain In The Upper Abdomen?

Hello. I'm a 33 year old female. For a while now, I've had some pain in my right mid-upper abdomen. I had an abdominal and pelvic ultrasound in February which were normal. I also had a CT scan with contrast, a small bowel follow-thru, an endoscopy and a gall bladder function test. All were normal except for some gastritis and some bile in my stomach. The CT scan also showed a small liver cyst which the GI doc told me not to worry about. After the CT scan (in April 2011) I started to feel much better with the pain coming and going and sometimes being relieved after a bowel movement. Now the pain comes and goes but I also experience bloating, gas and constipation. The constipation I've had my entire life as far as I can remember. The pain comes and goes and sometimes by stomach gets very hard. Sometimes I also experience lower back pain on the right side. I'm so fearful of ovarian cancer. What are the chances of this? I have 4 children ages ranging from 3 to 9. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you have beeninvestigated properly for almost everything and reports are within normal limits you should not be worrying this much.By description following are the possibilities to rule out,
1Acid peptic dyspepsia syndrome,With Gastritis
2Cystic Ovary
3Constipation and IBS
4Take plenty of oral fluids , fiber full diet. You can add TAB pantoprazole with prokinetics before meals twice daily.You can also add lactulose syp once in awhile to facilitate bowel movement .
5.Stool for occult blood also needs to be done.
Wish you Speedy recovery.
