Totally agree you need to ask someone to point to exactly where the pain is because people in general confuse their stomach with their abdomen. I get excruciating pain when leaning forward in the upper abdo. region above my belly button, but then as I try to straighten up it goes to the right about 5cm above the belly button. Because the pain is so intense, I didn't focus initially on where the pain was and where it was going to, but I had to ask myself that and focus on the sensation despite it being very unpleasant to work out what to say to my Doctor. Problem is most Doctors aren't asking people to point to where the pain is. I've been told it's gas, or it's stomach acid going into my esophagus or it's my muscle. I think it may be a hiatus hernia, because I didn't have any problems until after my first endoscope. The GI specialist told me then that I had a sliding hernia and the pain has been intensifying over the years, probably because I've put on a lot of weight. Wish I knew what sort of scan to get for it, to figure out what's causing it. It's stopped me from working in the line of work that I have trained in.
My spine feels like is is compressing, and i spend most of my day lying down to minimize the pain. I also have abdominal pain, both sides of my navel. It feels like pressure from within pushing outwards. Do you have any idea what this could be? I have had an mri and it doesn't seem like there is damage to my spine or spinal cord. Blood test results are all perfect with no anomalies. Thanks!

Agree, it also allows you to see if it’s localised or distributed as well as radiating!
Thank you so much.
