Lower right abdominal pain

Posted by barkbarkbark1 @barkbarkbark1, Mar 3, 2022

I started having a pretty dull pain in my lower right abdomen it stays for a few seconds and goes away and comes back after a bit. It’s very tolerable I’m just wondering what it is. I had a ultra sound at the gynecologist yesterday and they said everything looked normal. I do have acid reflux and I’ve been burping and a little gassy for the past few days which i'm not sure that has anything to do with it I just want to mention everything just in case. I don’t think it’s appendicitis since I don't have any other symptoms like vomiting, nausea, poor appetite, etc. I tried pressing down on the area as well I don’t really notice any rebound pain.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Digestive Health Support Group.

@barkbarkbark1 - did you ever find out what this was? I’m having the same symptoms. Wondering if it could be chronic appendicitis. Going to see my GP next week.

Advise getting a FIT test.....ASAP

IMMLAMATION IN COLON /BOWELS COULD BE AN ISSUE
..............please update all after FIT test

@peterose - I believe you are talking about the fecal immunochemistry test (FIT)?

If so, @jbabble, I'd like to welcome you to Mayo Clinic Connect and also provide some information on on the FIT from Mayo Clinic. If you scroll down a bit to where this article describes pros and cons of different colon cancer screening tests, it describes the FIT:

- Colon cancer screening: Weighing the options https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/colon-cancer/in-depth/colon-cancer-screening/art-20046825

I personally had potential appendicitis that baffled my doctors when I was in 7th grade. I had nausea and vomiting and bad tummy pain. However, I was not doubled over in gut pain like most appendicitis patients, which was mystifying to the doctors. They did an internal physical exam and ultimately performed a barium enema on me to definitively determine if I had appendicitis. It turned out I did, so I had an appendectomy.

When will you be meeting with your doctor, jbabble? Did anything else happen with your symptoms over the weekend?

@vita831 - how are your symptoms? Are you still having pain?

@mimi86 - Did you get any answers?

@lisalucier i’ve been having pain on and off, and at this point, I think it’s most likely related to a muscle issue or disorder. I’ve already had a CT scan and an MRI, and neither showed anything that could explain the pain. I also had an appendectomy when I was about 10 years old so it’s possible that scar tissue from that surgery might be contributing as well.

Try doing a food log and see if food is related to your issue. Food is a big issue with me and my medical issues.

Hello, so I have been experiencing a lower right abdominal pain for months now. I am a 18y/o F and I have been to the ER the first day I felt the pain thinking it could be an appendicitis but they said they found nothing , I then followed up with my general practitioner who couldn't figure it out and then sent me to my OB who checked and found nothing abnormal and then sent me to a gastroenterologist who also did not seem to have any answers for me. I have been experiencing this pain for over 6 months now and no one seems to have an answer for me so I wanted to reach out on here and maybe someone has an idea. The pain feels like a runners cramp and is exaggerated when I walk for a long period of time and it gets progressively worse when any more rigor is added to the routine such as working out or jogging. It is rather low in my side and tends to only stay on the right side. Thank you!!
