Pain in lower RIGHT area - Bowel Disorders Message Board

I've seen where people have pain in their lower left areas of their stomach, but after an "attack" I have pain in my lower right area of my stomach. It's a lot worse this time.
Anybody know what it could be? I have been diagnosed with IBS and Diverticulosis.

Thanks!

If it isreal sever and to the right of your belly button it could be appendicitis

mc,
As you know the appendix is on the right side so be careful if it gets intense but it's the lower right. The stomach is upper--- below your rib cage along with your gallbladder.

Also,it is rear that you have diverticulars on the right side. And, IBS can cause Gas pains any where in your abdomen.

Take Care---Harry

Already had my appendix removed years ago. I went to bed with ibuprovin and a heating pad last night. I feel somewhat better this morning, but still tender.

I have been having the same thing on and off also and was wondering if it was IBS. I had a complete hysterectomy so I know it is not my ovaries. I have noticed it bothers me more when I am nervous. I am going to my family dr. in a few weeks. (not crazy about him) with my insurance I need to go to him first. I have myself a wreck anyone with some advice?
