You can have pain in one place that indicates a problem in another place.

I had an upper GI with SBFT and the radiologist was really surprised. He showed me the images where I had nice healthy fluffy intestine on my right side and a rather nasty-looking section on my left side. It was my right side that hurt, and no matter how he shoved around the left side, it did NOT hurt.

My doc laughed about it later. She reminded me that a lot of folks who are having a heart attack experience pain in the JAW or neck or upper arm -- not in the area where the heart is. The radiologist was surprised but the doc was not.
