Stomach issues
My stomach is distended to the point i look 9 months pregnant. It is really hard to the touch. It is painful to lay on, and if I squeeze it in the middle it is a sharp pain. Center of my back feels as if someone is pushing their fist in it. I had my thyroid removed and take calcium daily. This started almost at the same time. I don't know what to do, doctors i have asked can not give me any answers. I have always been a size 5 throughout my life and now I am a size 12 because my pants will not fit around my stomach.
