Q: Abdominal Cramping

I m 20 years old with a 1 year old and a 2 year old. In january of this year I started having very sharp {stabbing like}pains in the lower part of my belly, that was better after a bowel movement, but lately my cramping has become so bad that I cannot move or do anything. I went to the doctor, my blood work was fine but I had blood in my urin, he also did a ultra sound to look for cycts or anything else, which came up negative. But my uterus and right overy was very painfull when he pushed on them. He gave me some medication for the kidney infection and that was it. I am still having pains in the middle {bellow my belly button} and today my back hurt in the middle and now ubove my belly button is cramping today. I always have cramping some really bad, others not so bad. The doctor would like to do a surgical scope, that would be placed through my belly to see what might be causing all of this pain. I am just scared, cause I don't have insurance and I don't know what is wrong with me. It is expcially hard trying to raise 2 kids and always being sick. So of anyone has haf these same problems or migh t be of any help.... Please respond!! Thank you@!!

Hmm I kinda have that too. My doc is not too worried though. But if it is really bothering you to the point where you are always sick and not feeling good then maybe you should listen to your doc and have the procedure done.

the Same Thing..

Oh my lord, you have pretty much what I have its so stange. Around the middle of feb I woke up with terrible pains in my belly! It was kinda on my right side sharp stabbing pains also was better after bowel movment (even though that was painful)!!! I couldnt move at times either I would cry with the pain couldnt walk when it came on I looked stupid trying to walk crunched over! I went to the doc got blood test urine test and ultrasound 2 nothing came up in the blood test aswell, there was blood in my urine and like you I was but on med. For kidney infection, got my ultrasound resluts (they did that to check for kidney stones ect) but nothing there only that I was ovulating not much help. So tomarrow im going 2 hosiptal for a gastroscopy, thats when you have to have a camera thing down your neck into your tummy so scared for that! I hate being sick the whole time just seams like im complaing al the time iv missed so much of college 2! Happy I found some one whos kinda going though the same as me!!

Hello to helly, I went in about a week ago,to the hospital so they could do a laparosope. This is where they put a camera through your belly button and look at your insides. They found that my ovary was connected to my uterus and I have varicose veins on my uterus. So I have to have a hystorectomy. I was very sad and my doctor said the only way to get ride of my pain was to take out my uterus.Remind you I am only 20 so it is pretty difficult to take it all in. I hope to hear how your surgery scope thing went just incase I might have something else wrong. Thanks
