Lower Right Abdominal Pain Posted: 06-23-06 07:59am
Hello, my name is jennifer and I have a
really strange story to tell. For about 3
weks now I have had lower right abdominal
pain, clear down between my bellybutton
and my pelvis. Sometimes it can be sharp,
but it is always there. I am currently
taking ultram and it seems to help the
pain a little. I also have pain in my
right lower back, and sometimes in my
groin and down my right leg. My side also
hurts between my pelvic bone and my rib
cage. I have been to the er about 10
times for this and I had two cat scans
done 2 weeks ago, urine tests, blood tests
(my last white blood cell count was 5 and
he said that was normal) and everything
come out normal. My family doc is stumped
as well. He thinks it may be anxiety, but
I am on anxiety pills and its not getting
any better. When I walk it hurts, when I
take a hot bath it hurts, it doesn't hurt
more or less when I eat or make a bowel
movement. I have also recently had a
pelvic exam and that was normal. Std
tests came back normal. I am 21 years
old, and I need to get better and get on
with my life. This is so, so, depressing.
Please help me. Appendicitis, utis,
ovarian cysts, and ectopic pregnancy have
all been ruled out (among other things) I
am paranoid about my appendix but thats my
anxiety talking (lol) my family doc has
told me he is 99.5% sure that isn't what
it is. So can you please help me? Maybe
you can give me some ideas of other tests
or other things that may cause this severe
pain. Perhaps my colon? Thank you very
much. - jennifer :!:

I had something similiar to that at 19. I
was hurting in my back and groin. The
docs were saying there was nothing wrong
with me until I was in the emergency room.
Turned out I had scar tissue in my
kidneys. Could be something on the lines
of that. :arrow:

Your Pain Posted: 09-07-06 01:19am
Ok did any of this pain happen to get
worse after a ct scan? (ct scan contrast
can cause some bad side effects, like dvt)
does your pain include low grade fever?
Do you have any lymph nodes in the groin
that are swollen?
Been checked for a pelvic dvt? (deep
vein thrombosis)had a d-dimer test to rule
out pelvic dvt?... If not do it...
Pelvic dvt's can be fatal if not taken
care of...Small percentage though...They
can turn into a pulmonary embolism
your symptoms sound a lot like mine which
i've had for 8 weeks... So doc says its
either anxiety or lymphoma... Lol
nice either its cancer or your nuts...
But I dont know...
I love it when doctors tell you its
anxiety when they cant figure caca out...
Ok doc..My nuts hurt....Is that anxiety?
How's about I kick you in the nuts for 8
weeks and see if you come up with any
anxiety...
Most doctors are friggen quacks.... If it
has not resolved.... Go get a second
opinion...And a d-dimer for sure...

Have you had a transvaginal ultrasound?
Been checked for endometriosis?
Although.... I did have a normal ct scan
and then ended up in surgery anyway
because md was 90% sure I had appendicitis
regardless of what ct showed. Ha... I
did have appendicitis!
