I am a 26 year old vegetarian female with chronic lower
abdominal pain on my lower right side, my lower right stomach, and my lower back.
Pain that at times doubles me over. It affects my life profoundly. I had a spell of kidney/bladder infections and small amounts of blood in my urine for about 6 months but it has finally cleared. I am currently on advair for
asthma,
lexapro, and birth control pills. I have had this
pain for almost 3 years without a diagnosis. I do suffer from kidney stones-I currently have one that is in my kidney and 2.5 mm. It is recent and has formed after the onset of my
pain. I have been sent to the gynecologist and had a laparoscopy and was told everything in my uterus/ fallopian tubes looked great. She then sent me to a gastroenterologist where I had a
colonoscopy. The
colonoscopy revealed internal
hemorrhoids, which was deemed not the cause of my chronic
pain. There was no
blood in my stool. HIDA scan was normal. After my
colonoscopy I was in such severe
pain in my lower right stomach I was rushed to the ER to make sure I didn’t perf. I was given 2 CT scans in 1 week, everything was fine. I was referred to an urologist who scoped my bladder and reported mild irritation due to my infections, but nothing abnormal. I have had an ultrasound of my gallbladder and my appendix and was told that they were fine. Blood test always come back normal. I have no history of stomach
pain/disease in my family. I have run out of specialists to go to and body parts to be scoped. I have also run out of hope. The
pain is moderate to very severe at times. It comes and goes, but when it comes, it is a constant throbbing ache. I see no relation to meals or foods. Any advice as to where to go from here?
