mild to severe pain in my lower right abdominal quadrant Posted: 12-13-04 13:07pm
I have frequent mild to severe pain in my
lower right abdominal quadrant. I had a
hysterectomy in june of this year. I was
hoping that all of my problems in that
area was the thing causing my pain. It
wasn't. I have gone in for test after
test for appendicitis. Blood work,
ultrasound, ct scan, etc. All were
normal. My appendix was never able to be
seen. The pain sometimes gets so intense
that I think I should go to the er, but
never do because nothing has ever pointed
to appendicitis when I did go. My doctor
says that she can't rule out appendicitis,
but she can't say that it definately is
since tests all came back normal. My
pain and symptoms all mimic appendicitis.
My doctor told me that she had a patient
that had almost the same exact symptoms as
mine for over 2 years and all tests for
him were normal as well. Turns out that
he had his appendix out and all was fine
again. So that's why my doc isn't ruling
it out. But since i've had 3 surgeries
since march, my doc dosen't really want to
put me through another one unless
absolutely necessary. Any thoughts?
