Chronic ABD Pain
Hi, I've been have chronic stomach pain as long as I can remember. I'm 20 years old and have intense pain in my lower left abd near my hip bone. Sometimes I can barely walk. I've been wondering if it could be Celiac. I get chronic constipation and the pain comes and goes in wave. I also get mouth sores, have iron deficiency, nausea and fatigue. Could someone give advice?
I went through a year and a half of abdominal pain. Was labeled as anxiety driven pain and drug seeking. I was in the ER once a month and most of the time admitted. I finally found a gyn that listened to me and did an exploratory lap. He found a golf ball size tumor on my fallopian tube. He removed it and I haven't had pain since. Keep fighting for yourself until someone listens. I know how hard and frustrating it is. But, you are the only one that will be your advocate. No matter what the MD's say. Insist on more tests. Keep a pain diary to show your MD. Write down whenever you have pain, where it is, and how bad it is on a scale of 1-10. Keep that for at least a month and then show your MD and tell him/her that you want some answers and that if they won't give them to you, you will go to a different MD who will. Hang in there. My thoughts will be with you.
