Has anyone had an ulcer here and what does it feel like?

I have had stomach pain for days and at first I had diarea too but now just upper left side pain. It is somewhat burny but not like acid reflux either. It is sharp at times but is always at least a dull ache. It is a holiday weekend or I probably would have been to the doctor already.
Has anyone had similar pain? Thanks.
Answers:
yes i had ulcer and what am i talking i still do,,, ulcer is something you cannot cure but you can take precautions.. i experience the same problems you do. you need alot of rest, eat small amount of meals, ( eat every one hour if you have to ), stop worrying about anything, if there is any problem in liulfe, write it on a peice of paper and start thinking positive ways of handling it instead or stressing yourself. keep taking your meds, take rest in between your daily activities, also once you had a meal make sure you have a PLAIN SODA, that will digest your food and so you will not have the burning sensation. All these what i am saying you can write it down and ask your doctor, he/ she will agree with my advice to you. As i have been suffering from ulcer since 1991. Good Luck.

I've never had an ulcer but I have had canker sores which are directly related to them, I guess it feel about the same, especially when you bite them, that's when they really hurt.

sounds like you have one.. i had one, but the good news is they can heal. but it takes a strict diet. i did it for 6 months and mine went away. your gonna have to stay away from acidic foods and drinks.

i have the exact same symptoms and my stomch hurts but i take pepcid and alot of tums. acid reflux disease runs in my family. i was taking prevacid and it disappeared so i'm going monday to the doctor to get more. i always thought it was an ulcer but if the prevacid works then it's not so try something over the counter like pepcid or tagement and see what happens if it helps a little bit it's acid reflux but you need a doctors perscription. good luck!
