[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1644398, member: 265172"] [USER=357700]@Brendon.Dean[/USER] sorry to hear this. Three or four years ago I had a very very painful area in the upper side of my abdomen which felt much much worse after eating and drinking. I yelped when the doctor palpated the area. He suspected a gallbladder issue. An ultrasound and then an X-Ray showed nothing wrong. I was referred very quickly to a gastroenterologist who thoroughly examined me, asked me if I'd recently started exercising (yes, I said - I had begun to swim every morning) and he said I had costochondritis, which is inflammation of the cartilage between my ribs! Not his speciality, but apparently he had some experience of it. He said the inflammation was squeezing bits it shouldn't, which is why I was finding it so painful after eating, and was feeling sick after eating. I cut back on the swimming and built it up gradually. I'm now very careful of my posture. It continued to hurt for a long time, but didn't get worse, and it has now eased almost entirely. I was surprised and relieved. :) [/QUOTE]
