My stomach ache is back and it's frustrating as hell.

I am 33, male. I weigh around 58. Before I come to my problem, I'll tell you something about my previous medical history.

I am pre-diabetic. I don't take any meds. I try to avoid sugar when I can.

When I was a kid,(about 7 months old) I had a seizure. It kinda came and went 4-5 times until I was 7-8 years old. Doctors stated it'll go away. And it did.

Until just about a year ago, I was immensely stressed on this particular day. There were lot of things on my plate. I was crying heavily, and going out of breath. Felt like a vertigo. And then it happened. The good thing was that I wasn't driving at that time. But I fell to the ground, and started having a seizure. Because of the fall, I had a pinched nerve and went for a physio. It got better in 2-3 months. Also did an MRI for my brain. It was normal.

Now coming to my real problem, 6-8 months after my fall, I started having this stomach ache, and it wouldn't go. At first, I thought it was just a digestive problem. Something that I had eaten probably. Just a few days ago, mom was treated for Typhoid. And I also decided to test myself for it, the Widal test confirmed it, but I didn't have any other symptoms of typhoid. Kept taking the medicine, but the pain didn't go. Did the Typhidot test, and it came out negative.

The pain persisted for 2-3 months, until I decided to consult a gastroenterologist. The pain that I felt was between lower to central abdomen. Wouldn't call it a sharp one, also not an intermittent, but just a constant dull pain.

Did the sonograohy, and it showed Fatty Lever Grade 1.

Started taking the medicine. It took about another 3-4 months for the pain to go away. I've changed my lifestyle. Wasn't eating wheat. Started taking leafy vegetables. And I am a runner at heart, so I was doing that.

Fast forward 3-4 months, another tragedy. I fell from my two wheeler, and had two fractures on my left leg. Lower Tibia + Lower Fibula. Had to undergo a surgery. They placed an intramedullary nail. It's been more than 2 months to my operation, and I am doing physio. I am recovering. Started just walking with walker and a brace.

Here's the main issue now. For the last 3 days, I've been having stomach ache. It doesn't go away. I am afraid it is back. It is incredibly frustrating. Because I am also trying to recover from my accident and on top of it, the stomach ache is back.

What could it be? What should I do? If you need any reports, let me know. Please help.
