I had a CT scan of my abdomen a month ago, which showed everything was OK, but I'm still experiencing burning pain in my stomach and around my belly button. I'm a 30-year-old female who has been losing weight unintentionally since giving birth. Should I get it checked out again, and what tests should I consider?

What could be causing these symptoms?

I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis and have a T12 compression fracture with 40% height loss centrally and 4mm retropulsion of fragments of the superior endplate.

Additionally, should I see an endocrinologist, and what would they do?
