Avatar f tn I have been to the doctors for tests for appendicitis when I had severe pain in my lower abdomen. They ran a few tests, try these Raise one leg at a time, keep the other flat, if you get pain in the lower right area you are more likely to have appendicitis. The best test for it is to push down hard on the area of pain, if you get severepain when you let go, that is bad and I recommend you visit your doctor.
Avatar f tn From what I understand you usually have pain starting near the belly button and it moves the right side. You usually will have nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, fever, and chills. Were you able to be seen by a doctor for the pain since you posted? How are you doing now?

Avatar f tn I'm a women in her early 30s and 2 months ago I started feeling this dull and consistent pain on the right side of abdomen. After a while it spread to my back (more like burning pain there) and flank pain, all happening on the right side. Urine sample showed microscopic hematuria and after some exams doctors ruled out appendicitis and any kind of gynecological issue. I had abdominal ultrasound and CT as well that showed 13 mm hemorrhagic kidney cyst on my right kidney.

It can be hard to diagnose appendicitis in young children, the elderly, and women of childbearing age. The first symptom is often pain around your belly button. (See: Abdominal pain) The pain may be minor at first, but it becomes more sharp and severe. Your appetite will be reduced and you may have nausea, vomiting, and a low fever.

I'm sorry your having a tough time, and hope this goes away soon. But do please keep notifying your Dr. Don't feel like a pest, it's always best to be safe. Take care.
Avatar f tn sometimes the pain is eased by rubbing the area, or passing a little gas. Are these signs of something serious...should I be rushing to the ER or waiting to see if it eases? Does it sound like kidneys or ovaries or intestinal?
Avatar f tn pain in the right of my belly, which migrated in the LRQ after about 2 weeks, bloating, pain in the right side during bowel movements, right leg gets a little numb sometimes. Did a CT scan 1 month ago, it revealed an ovarian cyst of 3.5 cm on my right and a 5 cm one on my left. The pain on my right is persistent and the symptoms are really bad for such a small cyst. My gynecologist didn't give me many explanations, so I've searched for my simptoms online.

There may even still be an on going cough and cold in the child. The neck glands, if examines may still be swollen. •Fever.

Avatar m tn My relative (82 years old man), had a fever of 39 deg C one night and pain in lower right abdomen, and ultrasound showed his intestines at this part to be swollen and infected (the doc suspected appendicitis, but it was not), and he is currently on antibiotics and panadol right now. He told me that he had pain in his mid-abdomen when young too, not continuing, but on and off. And that he is very tired in the time period around his stroke until now. (start 2008) What could be the problem?
Avatar f tn If by chance you were actually able to figure out that your pain was from an inflammed appendix your delay in seeking medical attention would have resulted in the appendix becoming gangrenous and perforating usully after about 4 hours of symptoms. I agee that, in the absence of other signs / symptoms of an inflammatory process simple constipation would be the most likely diagnosis.
Avatar f tn I had my regular period the last week of March and 11 days later, I got it again. In between, my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex and I'm wondering if it's possible that I may be, even though I've read that the older a woman is, the more difficult it is for her to get pregnant, but I've been feeling the symptoms of pregnancy, including the frequent urination, some nausea, and lower back pain. It's been over 18 yrs since my last baby, so any info will be helpful.
Avatar m tn I have pain in the right side of my abdomen, near my belly button, it feels like I need to vomit. However I don't. It also hurts when I deep breathe. I have swelling in the abdomen too and its tender to the touch. Any ideas what this could be?
Avatar f tn Also, I talked to a girl in my class who had to have her appendix removed because of appendicitis, and I asked her what she experienced before she realised it was appendicitis. She told me, and while I am aware symptoms vary from person to person, I noticed I had all the signs she had, expect the pain had not moved to the lower right part of my abdomen.
203342 tn?1328737207 Crohn’s disease, diverticulitis, infection in kidney, kidney stones, constipation, ovary involvement in women, ectopic pregnancy in women, mesentry involvement, and an abscess in rectus abdominis muscle or psoas muscle can all cause lower right abdomen pain. Right flank pain is generally due to kidney stones. All the conditions mentioned above can cause pain near the hip area on the abdominal side. An ultrasound or CT scan of abdomen is definitely required. Hope this helps.
Avatar n tn Ovulations usually occurs around day 14 of a 28 day cycle. You ovulate 14 days before your period. The first part of your cycle is what will vary. Your cycle starts the 1st day of your period. If your cycles are short by a couple of days, it would be around day 12 of your cycle or if it is long say 30 days long, it would be around day 16. Around cycle day (CD) 8 or 9, I start watching for signs.
