there are many many many reasons for generalized abdominal pain. the only way to know what is causing this pain is to go to a doctor where he or she can physically examine you and perform diagnostic exams.
but a general list of things it could be (from off the top of my head) include....
appendicitis (can cause referred pain in abnormal locations)
pancreatitis (often causes back pain)
kidney stones (classic flank pain cause)
gastroenteritis
inflammatory bowel disease
gallstones
Pott's disease or other infection of the vertebral column
peptic ulcer disease
among many others.
and if you are a woman, a whole new area opens as well....
endometriosis
ectopic pregnancy
ovarian cyst/cancer
pelvic inflammatory disease
hope this helps

Good evening It is really hard to get a diagnosis with pelvic pain since it could be many causes. I would go to a womens doctor first and do all the test they have for that kind of pain. then if they find nothing, go to urolgist. One of these should be able to help you and if not find two new ones. I am sorry but sometimes the process takes a while. You could have interstitial cystitis which is hard to diagnose. It feels like a bladder pain but with no infection. Another symptom is frequent urination with ic. after drinking orange juice, caffine. First thing though you need to get back to the doctor and make sure they do all test possible. It seems something is wrong. I don't think you have cancer though Good luck and take care Linda
