From the symptoms yo?
From the symptoms you have described, this does not sound like gall bladder pain. Gall bladder pain is usually worse when you eat, especially fatty foods. Your case sounds like the symptoms of a duodenal ulcer. An ulcer is an erosion in the lining of the stomach or intestinal tract. There are two types of ulcers. The first is a peptic ulcer, which forms in the wall of the stomach. A duodenal ulcer is an ulcer that develops in the first part of the small intestine(duodenum). One of the distinguishing characteristics is that eating causes severe pain in peptic ulcers, but soothes pain in duodenal ulcers. Usually this condition can be attributed to the use of over the counter pain medications, such as ibuprofen and other NSAIDs. You stated that you hate pain medications, so the cause is a little more difficult to pinpoint without knowing your full history. I suggest that you be seen, preferably by a gastroenterologist as soon as you can. Especially if you have vomited any blood or had any black, granulated stool. These are signs that there is bleeding involved. The big risk, if you do have an ulcer, is perforation, or tearing. If an ulcer eats all the way through the lining, life-threatening bleeding could occur. You may have some kind of imaging, or possibly the doctor will want to put a scope into your stomach to look around. Best wishes to you, and if you have no further questions, please click "accept answer". Thank you.
