A good news day

Talk about good news! I'm not just on the mend, but also no nasties coming for the future. The tests showed neither cancer in the growths nor bacteria (you are aware that many ulcers come from bacteria, I am sure), so no big nasty and neither do I need long antibiotic treatment. Hardly any pain remains and so work again beckons, on Monday I'm back to the usual slog. Oddly enough this is far more appealing than being in A&E in rather a lot of pain.
Simplistically the consultant said that they are now completely sure that this has arisen because the most effective painkiller the docs found for my stomach pain has a known bad effect on stomach linings, and I have used it intermittently for just over five years. So I guess I have been lucky not to have been affected earlier. Anyway nexium should get rid of the ulcerations quite quickly and a change of painkiller will prevent further ulcers.

Of course the downside is that the alternative painkiller offered had previously been tried and found not quite as effective. Never mind generally pain comes less often these days and I am sure all will be well.
