I've been having random abdominal pain the past week with no association to any food, gas, time of day, etc. The last two days have been bad- came on in afternoon/evening so that has been the same. Severe abdominal pain in middle to lower abdomen. Takes my breath away it’s that bad. Then all of a sudden the pain lets up and it gets better…for a bit..and it comes back, and intensity.

What I think- I have an angulation in my small intestine and I “think” there might something trying to pass. Once stuff gets through, it feels better. Until the next batch comes along. Just a thought?

I haven’t eaten much today or yesterday. I’ve dropped 10 lbs in the past month- but I’m a small person to begin with. My gastro can’t get me in until Sept for a routine appt. I didn’t tell him this was going on. Should I call him and fill him in?? Last time this happened I went to the hospital and they did scans and they said it was nothing. Gastro said it was my surgeons are- she said everything looked okay. I feel like I’m over reacting but obv I’m in pain. No other organs down there or else I wouldn’t be having this pain.

I mean now my brain is going all the way to thinking omg -what if it’s something like Crohns (I had colitis)..or what if I have a tumor or something. I know that’s not likely but Jeeze. Idk. I have the worst luck - If I explained my medical stuff you’d agree!

One other thought I had is possible ovarian cyst. I had one within a month post op and it was pretty painful. It was not a chronic issue for me, so I really do not have a personal reference point. But, I can say that the pain was similar to an obstruction, which I have also had. Since your pain was described as low abdominal, it certainly is a possibility.

Humm good point. My scans keep coming back normal from an obstruction standpoint. I just feel plain old silly for calling another doctor and saying that I am having pain again. I have had ovarian cysts in the past but that was way back in college and I’m in my 40s now. I’m at the point where I’m embarrassed to even tell my husband I have another doctors appointment. It’s like- yea, it’s just pointless. I’ll just deal for now… thanks for the advice though.
