Q: I have recently been experiencing lower right abdominal pains and also a sharp pain in my anal area why?
I recently had a miscarriage in December and my periods have been regular up until March-April. Now they have been spotty, some light and heavy, at different times throughout the month. For about the last two weeks I have been getting really bad lower right abdominal pains and pain in my anal area feeling like I have to poop, but I don’t. I have never had this before could anyone help me?

A: the pain may or may not be related to your miscarriage – the first thing that strikes me when you say pain in the lower right abdomen is an infection of your appendix… better than asking around here would be to see your doctor before the infection/pain spreads and requires some medical procedure. don’t let people give you random diagnoses

Q: What would cause severe upper right-side abdominal pain?
What would cause someone to have upper right abdominal pain, bright yellow liquid stool that he complains of burning very bad when it’s passed, nausea, no vomiting, and a low-grade fever? We cannot get a hold of his doctor to find out if this is serious.
He had his appendix out already, this is an older man, not a kid. He’s not really having a bowel movement, just this liquid yellow stuff, but he’s having that fairly often.
He also had his gallbladder removed.

A: He could have a bowel obstruction. When was his last B.M
Call the local Emergency room and ask to speak to a R.N or Dr for that matter.
What did he eat last?? How long has this been going on ? Have you tryed Pepto or Emodium.
I would call the E.R. Its not unusual to have nausea with bowel trouble .
gosh best of luck

Q: What would be the cause of lower right abdominal pain?
I’ve been having pain in my lower right pelvic area. I already been to the OB and there is nothing wrong with my ovaries. What else could be the cause of my pain? It never goes away. Its a constant sharp pain that last all the time…and hurts worse when I run.

A: In females -
1 Appendicitis
2 An ectopic Pregnancy
3 Pelvic Inflammatory Disease as a Result of an STD
4 Something known as a persistent corpus luteum (it’s a fluke of your menstrual cycle)
5 Ovarian cyst

I’d find a different doctor and fast!

Q: What would cause upper right abdominal pain?
For about 9 months i have had upper right abdomen pain off and on. I have been to several doctors and was tested for appendix and ovarian cysts. Once they found nothing, they said it could be a bad pulled muscle. In the last 2 weeks i have started having severe heartburn along with the side pain. I’m tired of being the lab rat. Could this be something to do with my gallbladder?

A: Have you lost weight recently? Have you been on a diet at all? Do you get these pain attacks about an hour after you’ve eaten food? Or when you lay down in the evening after eating? If this sounds familiar then you may be suffering from problems with your gallbladder. I had to have my gall bladder removed..

Q: What to do when you h ave Upper Right Abdominal Pain and already got tests?
Hi all this year around january i had some strong abdominal pain( upper right) it would last hours and the pain would get stuck and i would not be able to breath in. Then i had it 2 days later. then i had it the following week alittle.. so i went to doc to check, he thought it was gallbladder problems sent me to imaging tests, turns out everything is normal. i also had blood tests and were normal.

then i changed my diet eliminating milk. no more meat( just sometimess) no junk food. it got better from that time up to now, i had been fine.

But then this week ( May 2006) i’m having pain there again. this time is not so sharp and i can breath-in, but i have it.. and it seems like a bit higher than the place it was before.

Anyways, what can this be, if docs say i’m fine? what should i do now?

A: I know you said you’ve already had you’re gallbladder tested,but I am suggesting you get it tested again by a urologist.The reason behind this is because he/she can do a test involving dye injected into your gallbladder to see if it is even working.I had the same symptoms for years and had this test done,found out I had a diskenetic(none working gallbladder)that caused me a great deal of pain.I had the laproscopic surgery to have it removed and no longer have that pain.Best wishes on finding out results!

Q: Lower right abdominal pain with lump?
I am having episodes of pain in my lower right abdominal area. A knot forms between my right hip bone and belly button. The knot is extremely painful to the touch and hurts more with some movements, especially coughing. This happens once or twice a week and lasts for about two hours. I have nausea during that time. Has anyone ever experienced this?

A: You may have a hernia or maybe appendicitis – go to web search and go to mayo clinic.com and click on symptom checker – this may help

Have you seen a MD yet – you really should go and get it checked out
especially if the pain persist, worsens or have a fever. Don’t mess around – go see your MD

Q: why am I still experiencing lower right abdominal pain, 2 years after appendectomy?
I have been to three specialists and they are stumped. The only time i feel severe pain is when i stretch or have a number 2 in the loo.

A: It could be adhesions ie: when the abdomen has been opened some time ago little pieces of tissue stick to each other (that’s the easiest way of explaining it) tissue that is meant to glide over each other stick together causing adhesions.

Go see you Dr. and tell him you may have abdominal adhesions following surgery.

Q: I’ve been feeling lower right abdominal pain, with pain radiating down both thighs. What could this be?
I’ve also been feeling pain in my right and left shoulder, in addition to nausea. Could this be symptoms of an ovarian cyst or appendicitis? I don’t have health insurance, and I can’t afford to go into the emergency room because I don’t qualify for there charity program. Please help!

A: where are u from? i work in an ER in nsw, australia, and we dont charge anything, we jus ask for a medicare number, and that pretty well covers it. just make sure u go to a public hospital and not a private one, and yes i would be going to an ER and getting checked, they can also offer pain relief, if panadol is not doin the job.. i always go to the ER instead of the dr… depending on wat it is of course, but i guess, in your situation it sounds like u r letting money over take the importance of your health, and hey, if i was in pain, and had no idea wat it was, i would put my health before my money anyday. just make sure its a public hospital and u should be fine

Q: what can cause sore nipples, metal taste and lower right abdominal pain?
for the last few days I’ve had these symptoms:

i taste metal constantly, even after eating or drinking

my breasts hurt when they’re .. bounced, i guess. and nipples when theyre touched or even brushed.

the pain is sharp, and until today has been across my lower abdomen. now tonight it has been just the right side. it hurts more when i cough or walk around.

any suggestions?

A: Hmm..well, pain on the right side could be appendicitis. Metal taste in mouth..is your mouth bleeding by any chance? Are you pregnant? I don’t know, all your symptoms together don’t really add up to anything I know of.

Q: 18 weeks pregnant very severe abdominal pain on right side?
After i used the bathroom this morning I have had severe right side abdominal pain. So bad that i can barely walk or move. It hurts to go to the bathroom and if I lie down I am okay just a little tender. The nurse said to rest I called back 4 hours later because I was still in pain and she said to come in tomorrow at 1130. Until then has anybody has such severe pain at this stage of pregnancy?

A: i have a lot of pain in the ligaments around (that hold) my uterus. they hurt so bad. so i have to just lay down for a little bit and then they finally stop hurting. or you could have a really big gas bubble. i know that sounds silly, but it could be. or your baby could be pinching a nerve on that side.

but yes, no matter what we say here, make sure you do call your doctor back if the pain persists.

Q: Has anyone ever had right sided abdominal pain while walking?
I have been having really sharp right sided abdominal pain while I walk. I usually don’t have it right away but after a min of walking it starts. It won’t stop until I stop walking. It’s really hard on me too because my job is nothing but walking. Any ideas what this could be? Oh yeah a week ago I had bad pain around the belly button I talked to the dr about that and he said it was probably just stretching. That pain is gone now, I just have new pain in my right side.
I am also 20 weeks pregnant
I am also 20 weeks pregnant

A: its just a muscle ache, or ligament stretching.
it won’t hurt the baby but when you feel it you really shoud take a seat for a min till it subsides

Q: Right sided abdominal pain at 32 weeks pregnant?
I am just past 32 weeks pregnant and this is with my first child. Over the past 24 hours I’ve been having pain in my lower right side. It goes from moderate to almost severe. It’s constant with mild throbbing and if I make quick movements, it hurts worse. Also hip pain on the right side. The hip pain I brushed off as baby laying funny, but should I be more concerned with this abdominal pain or is it normal? Could it be causing my hip pain? Any ideas what is causing either?

A: does it kinda shoot down your leg? if so, it sounds like sciatica – the sciatic nerve that runs through your hip/lower back and down your leg. you could say it’s the baby sitting on it, but when this flairs up, it is often a symptom of a potassium deficiency. eat bananas…have one every day and it should clear up in about a week.

Q: Any help for severe diahrrea and upper right abdominal pain?
I have had severe diahrrea for almost 6 weeks with severe indestigestion and GERD and upper right side abdominal pain, headaches, dizziness, fatigue and shortness of breath. I have had every test that you can think of. I had my gallbladder out almost 6 years ago.My doctor found nothing but ileutis and IBS-D. But all I was told to do is eat my fiber and go on diet. I called up today and I was in pain he told me to go to the ER. But I can’t afford to go to the ER for the 3rd time. What can I do or does anyone know what this is?

A: Have you tried something simple like pepto-bysmol? My daughter had her gall bladder out 2 years ago and often has the symptoms you describe. She said that a huge part of her body’s filter system is gone so food bother’s her periodically. All she can do treat the symptoms with pepto-bysol or gasX and ride out the storm until it passes. Good luck to you dear girl.

Q: What causes lower right abdominal pain, besides appendicitis?
I had a 7 cm. left ovarian cyst drained and biopsied, (benign) which stopped all pain for 1 week. My doctor thought it was referred pain, and doesn’t think a 2 cm. right ovarian cyst should cause any pain. She prescribed pain medication. My appendix doesn’t appear in CT scans, so it’s considered healthy.

A: You tell her to kiss my black cats a s s.
No..appendix normally DOESNT appear on the CT scans. You could have endometriosis. If I were you I would go seek a surgeon or another Dr. If that bursts that is life threatning.

Q: I have had chronic lower right abdominal pain since august, Ive been in the hospital where they did surgery?
to remove my appendix, the pain didnt go away! I have been in and out of doctors and emergency rooms and noone seems to be able to tell me what it is but it is affecting my quality of life and I am 24 but feel like I am 90! If anyone has had anything similar please let me know!

A: There is a possibility of scar tissue that may have built up after the appendix surgery and they would need to go back in and remove it because it could have attached to an area that your body uses to move and could account for feeling so bad at your age. If I were you I’d contact the doctor that preformed the surgery and tell them and have them do a sonogram or MRI to see what is going on and hopefully they can correct the problem asap toi improve your health. I have had many surgeries and this is a common issue when ine has surgery.
