Hi @cnunes, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. These symptoms must be both frustrating and disheartening at times. If you are comfortable sharing, could you explain a bit more about what you mean when you say lower right quadrant? Is the pain pretty focused in your lower back and hip area? Has your provider run any tests to rule things out?

Hi Justin,
Thank you for responding to my post. I have had a lot of imaging done for this problem, x-rays, ultrasounds, MRI's, CT scans, gastric empting and even laparoscopy to rule out endometriosis and to remove fibroids in the hopes that it would be a cure for my condition. I have seen multiple specialists, including OBGYN, neurology, physical therapy, pain management and even general surgery. So far, nothing makes it better and I have no diagnosis.
The pain radiates from a spot on my lower right quadrant and I can easily pinpoint it. It gets worse with sitting and I can only sleep when laying on m right side. The pain radiates to my hip and lower back specially when sitting and laying on my left side.
My hope with this website is to find someone with a similar condition and from there try to have a diagnosis.
I saw a general surgeon who dismissed ACNES and spaghelian hernia, but those two things seem to make sense when looking at my symptoms. Gastroenterology dismissed it as a GI problem, but I do suffer from constipation and gas.
I know this is a lot,but someone out there must have a similar condition and might be able to help me with this.
Please let me know if you can think of something that can give me some direction on this.
