A lot of people come into the ER for stomach pain. Because there are so many organs around that area, it's hard for them to pinpoint what it is. I would wait it out a couple of days, because the ER doesn't seem to be too concerned. If they were, then you should be too. See what your doctor says and hopefully you'll get better soon!!

if you are also experiencing nausea and heartburn it could be a stomach ulcers which cause extreme pain in the middle and upper stomach area. ulcers can also develop from narcotic medications.
