I am a 35yr old female, I have endometriosis, had 2 lap's to remove endo - last one was an emergency last month due to pain in my lower right side of abdomen. 2 weeks after this i got the same pain back and I had to go to Emerg again due to the pain. It starts off mid stomach and goes down to my lower right hand side of my abdomen and stays there. I went back to my Gyno and he said its probably not Endo now and i showed him where the pain is when i get it and he said next time it occurs he'll take out my appendix as you can get re-occuring appendicitis and my pain site is where my appendix is. Although i had CT scan done and it did not show appendicitis he says scans are never 100% accurate. I may add that on my RHS i have NO tube or ovary (missing since birth).
The pain is a stabbing constant pain that lasts for about 4 days and then goes for maybe a week or 2 weeks and then returns. RHS is tender to touch also. I feel nauseous with it, hardly eat and sometimes retch and feel miserable due to this pain.
Any ideas??
