Why do I think I am invinsable and it wont happen to me ect! I am a coffee drinker always have been and when I heard the warning about ulcer ect I thought no way can or will it happen to me! Well guess what for the past sereval weeks or so everything I eat and drink is painful that burning uncomfortable feeling! I started taking my prilosec again but should I make a doc appt? I am just not sure and of course I dread doctors so help! What should I do besides stay away from the coffee?

Ulcers: you need to check in with your surgeon. Guessing is a dangerous game.
Hip pain: Do you have an orthopedic surgeon? If so, get an appointment to have your back and hips checked out. If you don't talk to your PCP and get referred to one.
Hope you get the neccessary treatment soon and feel better.

Yes, you do need to have it checked out! You'll probably need an EGD to see if you have an ulcer or if it's something else going on. If it is an ulcer it's best to catch it early so it doesn't have the chance to get worse.
I hope you're feeling better soon and please keep us posted on what you find out and how you are doing. Hugs | |

I had an ulcer and it hurt to even have decaf coffee. The good news is that I took that nasty, chalky medicine for a month as directed (4 times a day! and the pills are as big as my butt used to be) and it's all better!!! I'm back to my decaf every day with no problems. Good luck! I hope it's a quick fix!

I agree with everyone. It's better to know and take care of the problem than have it linger and be miserable.
As far as pain, I've always had right knee problems, but since I started losing weight for my up coming surgery it's been really giving me major problems. I thought arthritis pain got better with weight loss not worse. Hope you feel better soon.

No advice for you, but I am interested in the outcome-please share after you see the doctor(s).
