Lower side hurts. Any idea what it could possibly be?

Question

Ok, so hi. This has been going on for about 3 months, give or take. It's not a constant pain, but when it does come around (at least once a day) they are small, sharp pains, mostly on my right lower side, around my hip bone. it mostly hurts after a meal or a snack when my stomach is full, and my belly pokes out from eating. i dont have a fever or anything else, and i went to the doc about it, didnt say much of anything, but said i would have a fever or be sick if it was my appendix.

Answer 1

Try WedMD symptoms checker, you can put in all your symptoms and it will tell you what might be wrong

Answer 2

well i was gonna say your appendix but if you went to the doc already then i guess that can't be it. But dont forget that some doctors might miss it, so you might want to go to another doctor to get it checked out again, also i remember that at times i would drink a lot of water a little too much and would feel a sharp pain on my side because of it, so it could be that too, it has to do with your liver, hopefully you'll find out what it is... bye :o)

Answer 3

as soon as you said low pain by the hip bone, it sounds most like an ovarian cyst. that location is where your ovary is. i had the same thing on the right side and freaked thinking it was my appendix, but the doc is right, if it were that you would be feeling a lot sicker and feverish. i didnt automatically go to my gyn because i didnt think it was related, but u have to. he did a pelvic exam, felt around and said it sounded like a cyst (after explaining my symptoms). had an ultrasound and sure enough, i had a couple of small cysts. they stopped hurting after about a month (one had ruptured). but going on for three months is no good. the gyn can diagnose it. .

Answer 4

Have you noticed that the pain seems worse after a greasy or rich meal (high in calories like cheescake or something with a lot of cheese?) I had my gallbladder removed a couple of years ago and it was full of stones. Your description sounds absolutely NOTHING like an ovarian cyst ( I had those, too) or pregnancy (Mom to 2 boys). You are your greatest medical assistant. Keep a record of what you eat and the symptoms you experience for a couple of days and bring that to your doctor. If your insurance doesn't require a referral, you might skip a step and go see a specialist in GI.

Answer 5

the lower right side of your abdomen contains: appendix, colon, ovary, and part of the uterus.
that said, you need to be evaluated by a physician as there is no one that see into your belly via a computer. you will most likely need a urine and pregnancy test, blood tests, an x-ray, ultrasound, and CT scan.
if your own doctor cannot see you today, visit the ER.

Answer 6

Your preganant darling.....plain and simply your gonna pop out a bundle of joy in 6 months......9 minus the 3 months you've had the pain.

Answer 7

Go to the doctor. It might be a bad back pain that you need to get medicine for. Go to the doc.

Answer 8

well, if they don't think it's your appendix, it might be an ovarian cyst or something. i get them from time to time and i have the same kind of pains. usually they go away on their own, but sometimes, they have to be removed. i would go see the gyn or call your doctor again if it worsens or continues to be bothersome.

Answer 9

I know it sounds weird, but it may just be gas. Try to get some GasX.

Answer 10
