Abdominal Pain,having CT scan and colonoscopy. Posted: 12-03-07 22:52pm
Let me tell something about myself first.
I am 29, somewhat overweight but i been
like that all my life. But I am pretty
much active, sports, gym form time to
time.
Having some abdominal pain these days (for
some 3-4 months now, had some a year early
as well but they would come and go, i
thought they were probably due to cramping
of the muscles), its mostly on the lower
left side, around 6-7 inches off the
navel. The pain is of the dull kind and
achy, its not stabbing or burning.
The pain moves sometimes to far left,
groin, pelvis and sometimes even to
opposite right side. Most of the times
like 90% is on the left side. Earlier this
movement was moving regualry in all the
places i mentioned. Doctor thought I have
prostatitis (infection in prostate), took
some antibiotics, the frequent movement of
pain stopped but now its concentrated in
the left side most of the time. Pain comes
and go, at the best i feel very very
slight pain.
My urination is normal, only thing unusual
about the stools is that they come out
crumbled. Also pain seems to increase when
I am depressed and fearful. Haveing a CT
scan in few days, and a colonoscopy on the
20th. Just waiting and worried about it,
just wondering if anyone know or think
what it is.

Do you have changed frequency and form of
your bowel movements when you're
experiencing abdominal pains?
Are abdominal pain and cramping going away
after having a bowel movement?
Do you have bloating and gas?

Well, lets see. The frequency is pretty
much the same, twice or thrice a day for
the bowel movement, and thats pretty much
it. The pain becomes better (less pain)
after the bowel movement, but that is not
the case everytime, sometimes it do get
better , sometimes no effect. But when it
does get better within an hour or so, it
comes to the intensity it was before the
bowel movement.
Sometimes it hurts little bit while trying
to force bowel movement.
Yes I do have gas and bloating. Infact I
was planning to take some medicine for gas
as well after I am through this problem.
But taking some medicine for this problem,
made the gas situation somewhat better but
it is still there.

Do you think your symptoms get worse if
you don't eat enough healthy foods or
after you've eaten a big meal?
Are you suffering from constipation?
Do you feel like you still need to have a
bowel movement after you've already had
one?
Are you experiencing a strong urge to have
a bowel movement?
Did you get your results already?
