What you describe could be a number of things, including pancreatitis, appendicitis, diverticulitis, ... or something else altogether.
This set of symptoms doesn't seem to be the type one can afford to ignore.
Pls see a doc/urgent care right away. Hope you'll write again to let us know how you're doing.
It hurts to walk and I must sit down with great care, I have performed some of the tests for appendicitis such as lying supine with my right leg bent and pushing over to the left...this results in much pain. Having been an EMT for many years I understand this could be appendicitis, however, I am confused about the pain free lapses. I live in the middle of no where with poor hospitals about 2 and a half hours away.
As far as I know, the most apparent symptom of appendicitis (inflammation of the appendix) is a dull pain in the stomach on the right side, that moves to severe lower right abdominal pain.

The above website explains different symptoms that could accompany appendicitis.
When I had appendecitis I woke up in pain with a lot of abdominal pressure and was admitted for surgery that day. It felt like I was really constipated or something (sorry TMI), and was nauseous. It sounds like the pain you are having is more likely related to the pcos. I have had ovarian cysts in the past and it felt a lot like what you are describing. I'm not an expert, just my personal experience.
An appendix is usually on the right side of your stomach and you will usually run a high fever with appendicitis. However, if you are still concerned, you can call your doctor and ask to speak to a nurse.
now i am developing the same pain again after about 20 hours, so i want to ask can it be appendicitis even if ultrasound doesnt show it? one of my friend got operated last month, she was having the same pain but ultrasound didnt show anything even then she got operated n now is fine!
Now the next day my lower right stomach is pretty tender, nowhere else, just lower right side. Should I be worried about appendicitis? Could it be tender from extreme gas and bloating?
Thoughts?
According to WebMD diagnosing appendicitis can be tricky:
"Symptoms of appendicitis are frequently vague or extremely similar to other ailments, including gallbladder problems, bladder or urinary tract infection, Crohn's disease, gastritis, intestinal infection, and ovary problems.
The following tests are usually used to make the diagnosis.
My first two children had jaundice when they were born and had to stay in the hospital an extra day to get the uv light treatments. I'm assuming my third baby will have it too... has anyone else had multiple children with jaundice?
OK so day 5 was determine to have jaundice.. So I had to take her too the hospital for a blood test OK day 6 got her results she was at a level 15 so had to take her back to the hospital to get checked again so now I'm waiting for the Dr to call me back to see of she needs to be admitted! Any one else go through something similar? I'm losing my mind going crazy with all the what if!!!
My baby was born march 7 and he has been showing no signs of jaundice but besides in his labs i had jaundice when i was a baby and they dont do it like they use to has anyone else baby had jaundice
Hi ladies I gave birth 5 weeks early to a healthy baby boy. He didn't have jaundice at the hospital. He is now 12 days old and has slight jaundice. Is there any other way to rid of this besides direct sunlight?
I'm worried about it not going away on its own.
Its when baby produces too much billireubin (an enzyme made in the liver) which causes yellowing of the skin. If baby is jaundice, or has hyperbillireubinemia, they will be placed under special UV lights that will promote the billi levels to come down on their own. Its not uncommon, I work on a pediatric floor and we see this quite a bit.
Well my son is a week old and the doctors said he has mild jaundice and they did some blood work on him , im not familiar with this my first son didn't have it cause i used formula and i was doing research and they said breastfeeding causes it ... now im worried should I stop for a while and use formula ?
Could be jaundice, when you go to Urinate have you noticed if its a very dark color, also your nails will go yellow and you will get upper stomach pain. Go to see you Doctor he wull know.
re jaundiced. Generally 1.4 is not elevated enough to show jaundice. Typically jaundice is seen in patients with a 2 MG/dl or higher total serum bilirubin.
Your ALT is certainly elevated enough to warrant further investigation.
There is something injuring your liver and further testing is necessary to diagnose your condition.
Frequently doctors will order viral hepatitis tests to rule out Hep A, B, C etc.
Aside from viral hepatitis there are many other liver disorders to consider.
I have a question. Before/during tax, does anyone experience the jaundice associated with HCV? If so, how long does this last? I do not recall anyone talking about this symptom.
