Any explanations...worried sick while waiting.?

Question

I have been having some abdominal, pelvic and back pain (predominantly lower back, but have felt some upper back pains too). They weird thing is that they are all on the left side of my body. An easy description of these pains is sometimes they are dull... but other times like right now, its like if I'm having period cramps although my period ended five days ago. I also have some pains in my left leg and buttocks, they are sharp pains when I walk at times. They other weird thing is that when I press into my abdomen, I won't feel pain (when my doctor did my physical, he doubted that I was even in pain because he could press so hard and I wouldn't wince). However, I have sinusitis and I'm always clogged up, when I sneeze I feel pain. The pain is similar to someone poking their index finger about an inch and a half going diagonal from my belly button to the left... but from the inside out. I have a bunch of tests to do but all in Jan (couldn't get earlier appointments) but I am so worried

My doc says that my reproductive system looks good... had a pelvic ultrasound and so too my abdomen ... abdominal ultrasound. Had some blood work already which he said was okay... and I had some fecal tests done to see if I had an intestinal problem. I keep asking him about instestinial blockage but he tells me that I don't have that... don't know what to do... the pains are so bad that I'm missing my bf's christmas pary because I can't get out of bed.

I'm seventeen by the way, and not sexually active.

Apparently its not kidney or bladder or spleen or liver or anything like that as they all showed up normal in the ab ultra sound.

Answer 1

It could be just about anything, but don't worry too much as the test should show what is wrong. I recently had similar pains and the test showed what it was and I had it taken care of through one day surgery and didn't have to stay over in hospital.
Worrying only will make you feel worst and will not make you any better. Incidently my problem was gall stones

Answer 2

First, this does not sound like a gallbladder problem, that would be on the right. This may be renal stones. Have you had any blood in your urine lately? Although an ultrasound was done it may not see the renal stones. It will catch if there is a block in the urinary track causing your kidney to swell. As long as you are having bowel movements and passing gas, then I do not think it is an obstruction. At you age though and having a boyfriend, I would consider mononucleosis with pain on your left side (spleen). What other symptoms are you having? This could be pain of ovulation but not likely as you should not be ovulating just yet (since you had a period 5 days ago). It can be a range of things or nothing at all. Best thing to do is see the MD. If the pain gets worse and unbearable then go to the ER. Try to calm down and rest assured that your MD will figure it out.

Answer 3

You need to keep asking your doctor what's going on with your body. If you don't get the answer from your current doctor go see someone else. I would also talk to a naturopathic doctor & see if they can help you. You have a lot of symptoms & your doctor is trying to rule out what you don't have.
The pain in your buttocks radiating down your left could be sciatica. I don't know what shape your in, or if you've ever injured yourself & how long you've had your symptoms?
You also need to check out your diet. You sound like you could have allergies due to your sinus congestion. You could also have some kind of bowel syndrome. So, I would just be guessing. Why don't to google some of your symptoms & see what's going on.

Answer 4

Did they check your gall bladder? Kidneys? You could have stones :(

Answer 5

Ask your Dr to check for a herniated disk also.
