I am seeing a specialist gastroenterologist soon, but I am really worried about some quite severe abdominal pains I am having. I am 27 years old. It started November last year, with a bad case of gastroenteritis, possibly food poisoning. While this was really acute, and involved sickness and diarrhoea it went after a few days, although I still had a slight ache in the illium area of the abdomen. It stayed with me at a low level until just before christmas, when I had severe abdominal pain. At no point during this time was I sick, and my stool was very solid. I went to a doctor who identified an abdominal mass, and sent me for an immediate ultrasound. The ultrasound picked up inflammation of the intestinal wall in the Illium area, and slight fatty deposits in my liver. Blood tests identified elevated ESR and CRP indicating inflammation.The pain had been at a low level since that time, until this week, when it has been severe, in the lower right & centre abdomen. Stool solid. Help!!
