Have you been tested for helicobacter pylori? Kill this bacteria and the ulcer may just go away...it worked for me.
Oh and just a side note about nexium.
"Thomas A. Scully, head of the Federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services also criticized AstraZeneca for their aggressive marketing of Nexium. At a conference of the American Medical Association he went so far as to suggest that Astra was using the new drug to overcharge consumers and insurance companies. "You should be embarrassed if you prescribe Nexium," he claimed, "because you're screwing your patients and you're screwing the taxpayers." An AstraZeneca sponsored study showed that 40 mg of esomeprazole provided more effective acid control than 40 mg of omeprazole"**
