And these have been going on for months haven’t gotten worse and are intermittent. Sometimes it feels like a feel a twinge when I eat. But nothing bad. But it’s been on my right side lower and upper quadrant. Sometimes it’s in my back but then I stretch and can alleviate it. Worried that something sinister is sitting in there!!! Too scared to go to dr!
What do stomach pains that stop when you stand or sit sound like? Worried about stomach or pancreatic cancer!

Unfortunately, 2 of my friends from childhood got PC and passed away within the last year or so. The pain quickly became unbearable. That’s the way PC works. Without treatment it is deadly within 3-6 months. If you had PC your pain would NOT act that way.
Of course, I’ve worried I had PC several times over the years. The last time I was triggered by my friends death. My wonderful G P said two things that snapped me out of it:
- come see me again when you’ve lost 35 pounds in a month
- you do know thie is bullshit, don’t you?
Positionally related pain is typically muscular. About 90% of my pains that worried me over the years ended up being muscular, made worse and lasting longer due to my anxiety and tensing up all day.

I experience exactly like this with trapped gas. And trust me, trapped gas can cause weirdest feelings in the body. Give it some time, never judge a pain seriously before a week or so passes. Our bodies work, and meanwhile make noises.
i love the sound of your GP! Sometimes a dose of reality is just what dr ordered literally. I'm so sorry to hear about your friends. PC sounds particularly brutal. I am not suffering at all but even the slightest but this issue has been ongoing for 6 months and every little ache and pain gets obsessed about by me. The problem went away totally went I went on vacation for a week but then returned i went came back. I started thinking it was way i've been sitting and working during the quarantine (lying on the floor with my laptop on my knees, don't ask) but wasn't sure its muscular.
I hope it's minor like trapped gas - it's been trapped for 6 months!

I don’t get the second part of the quote your GP said sorry!
Does he mean that people who are sick and loose 35 lbs in a month aren’t sick or they don’t loose weight that fast? i don’t get it!!

No, his Dr told him he knows his pancreatic cancer fear is bullshit, because it was actually just anxiety.
Why the heck did I start reading up on pancreatic cancer WHY??? now i saw that pain from abdomen radiates to the stomach and I've been having pain my back. it's on my right side as though i worked out too much. feels like it's a nerve thing - something pressing up against it! a tumor. trying not to freak out and call all my dr friends. i had an abdominal scan in february - seven months ago. maybe something grew
If you are stretching it and then the pain alleviates. Its a muscle issue.
