Here is a little back ground....a month
ago I thought I was constipated, but that
wasn't the case....the stool was to wide
to pass...I did pass it thought it hurt
worse than the 3x's I gave birth. About a
week later I had got waken up by horrible
cramps and ran to the bathroom with
diarrhea.
3 weeks (yes 3 WEEKS) back I started
getting an odd pain in my lower right
abdomen, not PAINFUL but enough to let me
know somethings up. Well I didn't know if
maybe it was due to my oncoming
cycle....my cycle came but pain didnt go
away.
I went to the ER and they took blood, no
urine test cause of my cycle. Did
physical exam, had me do things, they
looked for a lump near my right hip and
pressed up and down all over my
stomach....which I had ZERO pain or
discomfort from this.....they sent me home
they said they have NO idea what it
is....ran no other tests.
Followed up with my Dr 2 days
later......he suspects IBS NOT
appendicitis, he has me scheduled for a
colonoscopy March 13 and a Sonogram March
15. I did go today and have a UTI test
done which I wont know the results til
later this week.
He's leaning toward colon I'm going
appendix....BUT Im NO Dr.
Would and can an inflamed appendix last 3
weeks ???? I haven't thrown up, yes I get
nauseated but that may be from my anxiety
disorder which this is throwing me into a
spiral.
Im gonna say ibs but thats my opinion, nto
sure if u would have appendicitis that
long without it ruprturing, my mother in
law just had her appnedix removed recently
but she had the pain for a short time.
hopefully your dr gets it figured out
though best ofluck to ya

Thanks, thats my Drs thoughts.........Its
week 4, pain still moves around but I'm
feeling better, mentally and physically.
What are the odds of an appendix being
inflamed for 4 weeks with nothing getting
worse.

Ovarian Cysts Posted: 04-30-07 14:18pm
Have you been checked out for an ovarian
cysts? I had almost mirror symptoms to
you and mine turned out to be a cyst on my
right ovary. It eventually burst, but I
too thought I had appendicitis.
Appendicitis would not last that long
though. Best of luck!

Well I had a colonoscopy/sonogram/and
CTscan of my abdomin and pelivis. He said
something about my woman parts then said
its normal at your age........I wasn't
paying attention, all I wanted to know is
if my appendix was normal and it was.
I think if I had an ovarian cyst he would
have told me right? Cause he said there
was no physical reason for my pain. Based
on a few symptoms prior to this and my
pain he diagnosed me with IBS.
Its 4 months now and I still have the same
old problem
