I am having intermitant abdominal pain. Starts off mid stomach (round belly button area) and goes down to the lower RHS of my abdomen and stays there. The pain lasts about 4 or 5 days and then goes. It may come back a week or 2 later. It does not seem to be food related and the pain can come on at any time of the day or night. Pain starts off mild and then becomes a constant almost stabbing. I also feel nauseous with it, hardly eat and sometimes retch. My RHS is really tender when i have the pain and I just want to lie down. My Gyno says that its unlikley to be Endo pain anymore - unless Endo is deep within my organs now -going on a drug like dreaded Lupron would be way to tell. My old Endo pain used to hop all around my abdomen and not stay in the one place all the time. That's why my Dr is thinking its appendix related now. Another Dr said maybe i have a trapped nerve in my Psoas muscle as Endo was removed from there last year (RHS)?. Should i just have my appendix out and see?.
