What Is The Cause For Abdominal Pain With Tingling And Numbness?
Hi, I have had upper right abdominal pain for many years. Have had ct's, ultrasounds, liver test and a colonoscopy. Over the years when the pain comes it seems to be getting worse and changing from tingling to strong pain to continuous numbness across the lower rib cage.
What should I do next.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history.
You have a pain in the right upper abdomen / lower rib cage.
Changes from tingling to strong pain to continuous numbness.
''All the tests'' done till now.
As per the character, findings and area, I would advise you to undergo MRI of the thoracic spine. There is a possibility to find a compression on the spinal cord.
IF present , get this operated and you will fine.
