Random stomach pain

Renal

Probably not. If it was, the rennies would have made his pain better.

To be honest, I'm not sure what this is, but I'd lean towards something muscular. Do simple painkillers help (if it's stomach they probably won't)?

Not sure, I haven't tried taking them - the pain's bearable, and I'm not supposed to take ibuprofen type stuff (asthma and IBS). It definitely hurts more if I lean back and stretch my body out.

Does the pain radiate anywhere else. i.e. you have pain where you said, but do you have anywhere else? and when you say that it's comes about by standing up, do you mean that you feel the pain while you're standing, or "during the actual action of standing?"

Hope you feel well soon!

IBS?

Way out of my league, see your doctor.

Both whilst I'm standing and during the action of standing. The pain is centred around one small area. If I press on the area it hurts, but it's certainly not agonising. It's just below my breast bone (I believe) where my ribs start to spread out, if that helps.

You said the pain is centered around one small area- which side, right or left?

Also, it hurts when you press the area, does it hurt when you release the pressure?

Please remember that at the end you have to see you GP :smile:

It's sort of in the centre. It doesn't seem to hurt when I release the pressure. I just had another rennie which didn't do much, and I ate which didn't seem to make any difference. I'm veering towards pulled muscle now, I've pulled muscles before doing press ups (although usually in my back/shoulder). I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see a doctor anyway.

I do have a diagnosis in mind :smile:

But, as you're going to your GP tomorrow who without doubt will know tonnes and tonnes more than me, I'll wish you the best of luck now :smile:

Thanks - what's your diagnosis, just out of interest? I'm meant to be going away for the weekend... hoping that whatever it is doesn't interfere with my plans.
