Lower back, flank and abdominal pain (right side only)

Your symptoms sound exactly like what I went through for several years. I saw so many different specialists and each one gave me a different diagnosis. Finally (and purely by accident) I had a CAT scan done for something entirely different, but an aneurysm showed up in my abdominal artery. It wasn’t huge, but when I went to see a vascular surgeon, they scheduled surgery immediately because it turned out to have massive blockage around it. I had AAA bypass surgery, but I feel so much better. And those symptoms are all gone.

@ndough
Lucky for you!
@ndough oh wow! That’s scary, thankfully you had that CT!
I did have a CT scan and was checked for an abdominal aortic aneurysm. They said it was clear - my dad had this and had surgery for it 2 years ago. Apparently, my chances of having this from being female and my dad having it are higher. I perhaps may mention it again to my GP.

@ndough I need to add to the above…No history of heart problems, either mine or in my family. No high cholesterol, blood pressure normal to slightly low, exercise a lot. I weigh about 115lbs. Absolutely no reason for me to have any cardiovascular issues. This was a big surprise to my doctor as well. Also, during the surgery for this I suffered a heart attack!
