    i find all your videos so informative. I am a Family Nurse Practitioner working in Urgent Care. I l have learned so much from these lectures and procedural videos.

    Why is that every time I tell someone I have stomach pain they assume I have too poop?
  • Yes Dr. please always do continue to share your professional medical advice. You are very well mannered and have a direct way of articulating and weeds out unprofessional YouTube so-called doctors. I wish you were in my area I'd make you my permanent physician.

    Great vid Dr! My father in law just taken to the ER for epigastric pain radiating to the back, started with nausea and vomiting, yesterday is going into surgery this morning. He originally refused to go to ER Monday night, very important these symptoms not be ignored! Shared this video with the family! Thank you!

    What a great informative video! Wish you were my ER doctor over the years! 14+ years of misdiagnosed right side abdominal pain with other accompanying symptoms. Now I just live with the pain, it's far cheaper and less frustrating than going to the hospital or doctor!!!

    Hey I’m 14 and my pain is in the middle of my stomach near my belly button. During the day it’s a 3 out of 10 but during night time it’s a 8 out of 10. This prevents me from sleeping/ going to school, I went to the hospital and saw 7 doctors and they can’t figure out what it is, it’s really frustrating and saddening when I’m up all night from 8PM-8AM. I have already had my appendix removed and it’s not that. I am in such pain right now and I can’t handle it, it is so hard to keep positive.

    I had dull ache under left rib. My doctor told me it was the Neuralgia from having shingles. I’d feel it going from my back to the left upper rib. Of course I thought the worst. Convinced myself I had pancreatic cancer. I have bad health anxiety.
  • @missnelson9621
    Ooh my God the pain is horrific.... someone help coz I don't know what exactly the cause
  • I get extreme middle stomach pain only once in awhile, but when it happens I can hardly move or do anything productive. Occurs couple times a month...
  • @maryamrid6988
    I m noticing that the food I have eaten is storing in left side only
  • "could be hemeroids, could be cancer" brahhhhh😂we are alllllll gonna die
  • @jimmyluck4389
    thanks dr.ER for the video. how would you help a patient with chronic undiagnosed pain (localized at the mid-right) that comes and goes, changing in intensity from mild to extreme?
  • @Buscar39
    My abdominal pain is in the morning and I start having cramping when I bend over. It eventually goes away during the day but returns when I wake up in the morning. What could that be? It is only when I'm bending over or make a sudden move.
  • @carafoskett7934
    I started having pain in my right lower abdominal since Sunday morning, it hurts when you are walking, trying to sleep,  when you sneezing ,and it hurts when you touch where the pain is.
  • @f12025
    I'm having suffocation after eating, little pain in upper abdomen after eating, followed by vomiting, shortness of breath after eating
  • Diabetic ketoacidosis and hernias as a differential! Check the belly button, abdominal scars and groin. Lookbout for high blood sugar and ketones in urine. Great video!

    Here's a few tips that I have found in the last year that really lessen the pain and at least relax you if you're having horrible pain in your abdomen: Take an ice popsicle (preferably mild ones that don't taste like sugar and plastic) in a hot shower. It's amazing and it doesn't matter if it starts to melt because you're in the shower. A small glass of ice cold milk. Any pain killer. Drink anything that contains Vitamic C daily. It will reduce any future abdominal pain you'll get.
