Too long of a story but flew to VA and the equivalent of Dr House and team drove a scope through my arteries while I watched on tv. All to rule something out.
Sometimes it is something simple. Don’t get too caught up into what it could be. Ruling stuff out is helpful BUT keep an eye on simple things..diet, sleep, muscles, deficiencies, etc.

Bloating and nasty abdominal pain are really the only thing I’ve had tbh
I had similar..pain x2 years...no blood test/MRI/ CatScan or other tests found a thing...blamed it on irritable bowel, take this drug, take that drug...just got worse QOL was dropping fast....all the gastro guys were wrong..

Yes, it's possible for an undeveloped, parasitic twin to be found within the abdomen, sometimes containing structures like hair and teeth. This condition, known as fetus in fetu (FIF) or teratoma, is rare. These masses are usually benign and can be removed surgically.

Yeah where is the pain? Could be something as simple as gastritis.

Yes but it was an ex lap in an emergency. They found all of my small bowel in the wrong place. I had a large adhesion as well they cut down. But it was an internal hernia. I had an incision from under my ribs to the top of my belly button. It has healed nicer than most of my stomach scars. As a bikini wearer I appreciate that. It was also not as painful of a recovery as I thought it would be. Chronic abdominal pain is pretty rough.

Yes, it wasn’t good and my next stop was MD Anderson. I honestly hope yours goes much better

Very sorry to hear, and I hope you get better very soon. I have never had exploratory surgery, but I wouldn't have it if I were you, either. Have you had the same doctor through it all? As others have implied here, if you had anything worthy worrying about, something - labs, or other, less invasive tests - would have shown it. Many minor issues can cause what you describe. I think it is a dietary, lifestyle, fitness issue.

Before CT and MRI was available in the late 70’s Dad was found passed out in the floor of his office. After 3 weeks hospitalized and still in distress they scheduled exploratory surgery.
They cut him open from his clavicles (collar bones) to his groin and dug around inside for over 4 hours. His gallbladder had petrified and literally turned to stone along with growing more vascular tissue and extra duct work.
The scars were still plainly visible for the rest of his life. Big deep scars that he was self conscious about and never left the house shirtless again.
