Extreme pain in diaphragm/back when eating! Help!

blinnk83

I am 30 weeks pregnant and had quite a rough three days...  Saturday it started with extreme back/rib/diaphragm pain that got so severe i could not sit upright, eat or sleep that sent me to the ER sunday.  They basically ruled out a gallbladder issue and threw pain meds at me and said it's a muscular issue with the way the baby's growing.  Followed up with my Dr the next day because the pain is still awful and when i eat - the pain gets so much worse.  My nurse practitioner looked at my back and said my rt shoulder has a big knot in it and to seek chiropractor care andi should feel better....  Well today, after the chiro. And massage my mobility and back pain is a bit better but again, when i eat (not after but during) i get an awful pain from my diaphragm through my back and radiates to my jaw....  I dread eating and i am miserable.  I wrote my NP an email to see if anybody can tell me what's going on but i feel like nobody wants to dive too much into it because I am pregnant but i am really struggling to eat and this pain lasts a good 20 minutes after eating....  Anybody else ever experience this?   Im wondering if it could be a hernia or something along those lines....   Its by far the worst pAin and i just can't take it . Ive tried antacids, stretching, everything - and nothings working.   Thanks for any insight!

I have some radiating pain in my back and shoulders after I eat...or haven't eaten for a long time. I assume it's some kind of indigestion. Unfortunately, I've never heard or experienced what you're describing. I hope you receive the help you need and feel better soon!
