I am 56 years old male and for the past few weeks I have been experiencing stomach burning and pain radiating to the back. I would like to know more about this. What do you think is happening with me?
I will try to give you information that you want to know, however, it is important for you to visit your doctor. Remember, I can not diagnose you without examining you first. I can only guess what the case with you is due to a fact that you did not give me enough information. Pain radiating to the back can be suggestive of pancreatitis or an ulcer and other possibilities include the liver or gallbladder and inflammation of the upper digestive tract. To know exactly what is causing you feel like that, you need to do an ultrasound. This way doctor can take a look at the liver and gallbladder. The pancreas can be evaluated by obtaining blood pancreatic enzymes as well as a CT scan and you can discuss with your personal physician about these options. Please see your personal physician for further evaluation of your individual case and proper treatment.
