In Pain...any ideas

Reyne · 03-14-2007, 10:55 AM

I am a 36yr old female and dealing with lower left pelvic pain. This pain is stabbing, dull, achy it feels like a grapefruit...like there is something there. And it never goes away.

I have had every test under the sun CT scan, a lap (look for female tumors), blood work, ultra sound. All of the Dr's cannot find a thing????

I am scheduled for a colonoscopy in April but just want to know if any of you have similiar symptoms. I also have been gassy....wow watch out

Staring to get depressed and just feel like giving up. Oh ya, the Dr did put me on anti depressants...hope that helps.

Is the pain near your groin? Do you limp?

Sounds like me last year (I am also 36/female). It is depressing when you are sick and they can't find anything wrong.

My colonoscopy and upper endoscopy were the last tests done. That's when they told me I had Crohn's. We're talking months of pain and tests (and thousands of dollars). They put me on meds (asacol, entocort and cipro) and a month or so later I was back to normal.

I hope something is found with the colonoscopy so they can fix it. Keep hope! I know how difficult it can be! I'm coming out of a flare up from the Crohn's but at least I know what it is and know I can fix it now! Anyway to move the colonoscopy date up? April?? Jeesh.

Btw, I am burpy ALL the time, even when I don't have pain! Very attractive

Yes...my pain is in the groin and when it is bad, I limp

. The Dr's thought possible hernia but during the laporscopy the gyno thought everything looked good.

Zoegirl-
Thanks for the response and giving me hope they might find something. Although I do not wish it to be Crohns...I just want an answer. I am glad to read you got an answer.

I would rather be burpy then gassy anyday!! Oh well you cannot always get what you want huh???

Hi Reyne, Can you have your hip scanned? Your pain sounds just like a friend of mine who had a bad inflammation in her hip joint. That may explain why your abdomen is clear but you still have the pain etc. All the best, Sera
