Here is a little back ground....A month
ago I thought I was constipated, but that
wasn't the case....The stool was to wide
to pass...I did pass it thought it hurt
worse than the 3x's I gave birth. About a
week later I had got waken up by horrible
cramps and ran to the bathroom with
diarrhea.
3 weeks (yes 3 weeks) back I started
getting an odd pain in my lower right
abdomen, not painful but enough to let me
know somethings up. Well I didn't know if
maybe it was due to my oncoming
cycle....My cycle came but pain didnt go
away.
I went to the er and they took blood, no
urine test cause of my cycle. Did physical
exam, had me do things, they looked for a
lump near my right hip and pressed up and
down all over my stomach....Which I had
zero pain or discomfort from this.....They
sent me home they said they have no idea
what it is....Ran no other tests.
Followed up with my dr 2 days
later......He suspects ibs not
appendicitis, he has me scheduled for a
colonoscopy march 13 and a sonogram march
15. I did go today and have a uti test
done which I wont know the results til
later this week.
He's leaning toward colon i'm going
appendix....But im no Dr.
Would and can an inflamed appendix last 4
weeks ???? I haven't thrown up, yes I get
nauseated but that may be from my anxiety
disorder which this is throwing me into a
spiral.
im gonna say colon, because im sure by now
if it was your appendix it would have
burst by now. hopefully u have gotten
checked out and found out your problem

Ibs Means I Don't Know Posted: 05-02-07 12:25pm
it couldn't hurt to see a couple different
gastro dr's, but it seems to me a doctor
will diagnose a person with tummy troubles
with ibs, when they can't find anything
really wrong with them. I suggest some
heavy duty cleansing and probiotics. You
may need to evaluate your diet and
re-think a few things. I hope that you
find some relief soon!
