View allI've been dealing with this recurring pain on the left side of my upper stomach. I'm 33 and have already done an ultrasound and a CT scan but nothing major showed up. About a year and a half ago, an endoscopy indicated esophagus grade A. I've been on medication since, but the pain still persists and sometimes moves to my back.
