I have a pain in my stomach...?

Seems you're right in diagnosis: stomach ache. The pain in the back where you defined is most likely from your stomach as well. Gastritis is a very common problem in digestive system and the more you take it easy, the shorter the course of pain. After having food, do not lay down until an hour or so is passeed. Avoid acidic and spicy food and also alcohol. Milk, water and simple foods are good for you. Do not get upset! Take AlMg medication after food, and TAKE IT EASY!!

not enough info to answer.  have you been eating?  drinking?  do you have pain?  you need to see a doctor.  could be a virus.  could be food poisoning (gastroenteritis) or a bowel obstruction.  or ... if you are a female you could be pregnant.  if this started suddenly and you have pain in your flank or groin area you might have a kidney stone.  so you see.....many possibilities......call your doctor or get to one asap.

if it's lower left, that's your large intestine.  You may need to just get things moving if it's gas or a little blockage.  If you have some cramping as well, your body might be trying to get rid of something you ate and it didn't like.  Take a walk, drink lots of water (warm preferably), and drink some prune juice.  You should feel some relief in a few hours, by latest next morning.  If it's still there, call your doctor.  Hope that helps!

It could be anything:  your appendix, muscle spasm, impending diarrhea, constipation.  If it's been going on for a while and/or if the pain is severe, see your doctor.

I highly recommend you see a doctor.  The fact that you have pain after you eat suggests gall bladder pain.  Gall bladder pain can refer to the left side.  You really need to have blood test, perhaps an ultrasound.  Very easy to determine what this is from.  GET TO A DOCTOR!

Do you have any other symptoms like fever, chills, nausea or vomiting?   When was the last time you had a bowel movement. \nThe most common cause is constipation.  If you have accompanying fever or diarrhea, you could have an infection. \n\nIf the pain persists or becomes progressively more severe you should seek medical attention!\n\nIf you are female, it could be menstrual related.. or even an ectopic pregnancy.  \nPlease call your doctor if this persists!

The cause of abdominal problems can be hard to pinpoint. Sometimes minor and serious abdominal problems start with the same symptoms. Fortunately, most abdominal problems are minor, and home treatment is all that is needed.\n\nMany times the exact cause of abdominal pain is difficult to determine. The severity of your pain, its location, and other symptoms you have may help determine what is causing the pain.\n\n    * Generalized pain occurs in half of the abdomen or more. Generalized pain can occur with many different illnesses and will usually go away without medical treatment. Indigestion and the stomach flu are common problems that can cause generalized abdominal pain. Home treatment may help relieve some of the discomfort. Generalized mild pain or crampy pain that becomes more severe over several hours may be a symptom of a blockage of the intestines (bowel obstruction).\n    * Localized pain is located in one area of the abdomen. Localized pain that comes on suddenly and is getting worse is more likely to be a symptom of a serious problem. The pain of appendicitis may start as generalized pain but often localizes to one area of the abdomen. The pain from gallbladder disease or peptic ulcer disease often starts in one area of the abdomen and remains in the same location. Localized pain that gradually becomes more severe may be a symptom of inflammation of an abdominal organ.\n    * Cramping, which can be very painful, is rarely serious if it is relieved by passing gas or a stool. Many women have cramping pain with their periods. Unless it gets worse, lasts for longer than 24 hours, or localizes, generalized cramping pain is usually not cause for concern. Cramping that starts suddenly with diarrhea or other minor health problems can be quite painful but is usually not serious.\n\nOccasionally, severe pain that develops suddenly may be a symptom of rupture of the stomach or intestines (perforation), torsion of the testicle or ovary, a kidney stone, gallbladder disease, or blood flow problems. The pain caused by appendicitis or gallbladder disease may increase with movement or coughing. Pain that increases with movement or coughing and does not appear to be caused by strained muscles is more likely to be a symptom of a serious problem. A visit to a health professional is usually needed when severe abdominal pain comes on suddenly, or new and different mild pain slowly becomes more severe over several hours or days.\n\nAfter a minor abdominal injury, pain, nausea, or vomiting may occur but usually improves in a few minutes. Pain and other symptoms that continue, increase, or develop following an injury may mean an abdominal organ has been damaged.\n\nMany medications can cause abdominal pain. Some medications also cause side effects, such as constipation, that can make abdominal pain worse.\n\nReview the Emergencies and Check Your Symptoms sections to determine if and when you need to see a health professional.

In that area of your body you have your upper intestines, gallbladder, and your liver.  You can also have pain from your kidney.  If you're still hurting after several days and the pain is getting worse you should see your health care provider.  You may have some sort of infection or damage to an organ in that area.  Or it could simply be muscle pain from a strained muscle in that area.  Your doctor or nurse practitioner could best test and determine what's going on.  I would see them though to rule out any sort of infection of one of your major organs.  It's kind of high to be appendicitis but that's possible if it's referred pain.  If you've had fever and nausea/vomiting with it you need to seek help immediately to be evaluated for appendicitis.

Is it a sharp pain? Is it roughly a few hours after eating? Could be some kind of digestion problem. Being that they were treating you for a peptic ulcer makes me believe that they were looking at digestion too. \n\nA simple measure you could try, and I have done myself with some success, is change a small portion of your diet to see if you can isolate a problem there.\n\nFor instance, for about a week try cutting out gaseous food items like broccoli, milk, onions, cauliflower, eggs and large amounts of any dairy products like yogurt and cheese. See if things improve. \n\nIf they don't, put those items back into your diet and for a week try removing heavy items like beef, large amounts of bread, pasta, nuts, and stick to lighter meats like chicken and fish along with light salads.\n\nLastly, I would try cutting out any spicy food altogether during these different diet tests. Spicy foods are not necessary for good health and that would be one less variable you would have to worry about.\n\nTry to mix and match some of the items you eat and leave out others. Usually a week is enough time to determine if their is an improvement. \n\nI quickly found out that even though I didn't know what was causing my pain, I had an idea that it was indigestion related and cutting out the milk/onions did wonders for my abdominal pain.\n\nSide note, I am not a medical doctor and my advice should not be taken strictly as a cure. Also, do not stray too far from what I have outlined here and make sure all changes are ok with your physician.\n\nGood luck!

Yes. "Stomachache" simply means that there is a pain in the stomach, regardless of the cause. So, it has the same exact meaning as "My stomach hurts."
