What Is The Reason For Having Stomach Pain Every Day?
My brother is 69 and is suffering from severe stomach pain every day. He has been tested for it and the doctors can not find the cause. They have prescribed medications but the meds only help him for a short period of time and then the pains are back. What do you think?

Hi.
I would have been happy to know the exact site of pain and any associated other symptoms too; like vomiting/ constipation/ jaundice and so on. Please attach any reports done till now.
Everyday pain can be due to many factors like pancreatitis , gall stones, gastric ulcers, internal herniation, may be a mas in abdomen and so on.
Go for CT scan of the abdomen if not done yet.
Consultation with a Gastroenterologist is needed.
