| Re: Bad Pains
I know what it is like to be scared. Hang in there. 1st, I recommend you set an appointment with a gastroenterologist. Your gynecologist (you should have one) should be able to refer you to one or another type of doctor if she sees fit.
Your problems may indeed be related to stress and lifestyle, but it is important to eliminate an underlying illness before you get there. Even then, stress can cause real damage to your body.
Think about yourself as a whole person. I have been through all sorts of tests. Some where uncomfortable, but none of them killed me. Get independent, professional medical advice!!! The internet is not a substitute for a medical professional. Not to pry, but do you lack insurance coverage, or has the fear kept you from seeing a doc or something else.
If something is keeping you from seeing a doc, then come to the board with that concern, and see what others might able to help you with. The really nice thing about a board like this is that there are others that have probably already been where you are at.
