Hi everyone I’m not sure if what I have is my pancreas or possibly a stomach ulcer. I have soreness my skin by my left ribs is tender and at the bottom of my left rib cage towards the centre I at times get an awful burning pain but what’s weird about it, the left side of my spine is tender, At times it feels as if my skin is burning almost as if Ive pulled a muscle. to say I am confused is an understatement lol.

I am seeing my doctor on Tuesday, but worry something is going wrong 🥲

HI there, I'm sorry your having a rough time. We can't diagnose what's wrong but if your symptoms get unbearable or you start to vomit before you get to see the doctor, please go to A&E.
