Hi Everyone,

I have been having some problems lately, I'm hoping that someone might be able to help.

Well here goes Last Friday I had a pain in my lower stomach about 2-3 inches above my pelvic bone, (Im not sure if this pain is related to what is happening now but thought I should add it just in case.) It was excrutating it felt like a ripping pain, when I moved the pain got MUCH worse. Every muscle tighting every little movement sent me into waves of this pain. It started to get better 30 min later and although I could still feel it I thought it was getting better at this time my youngest child asked me to put a movie on in her bedroom, which is not far from where I was, I made it about 10 steps before I was doubled over in pain crying. When I finally got back to the couch I was not in good shape. It took another 45-60 mins. for the pain to subside and than I felt tender, and had to walk gingerly for a while.

Two days later I had a bowel movement that was not normal. I almost always have loose bowels but this time it was black and grainy looking in diahrea form and smelled bad, (I understand that stool almost always smells bad but this was just different somehow).

Lastley I have been having a burning in my stomach it seems to hurt all the time but more after I eat or drink.

Well if anyone has any idea as to what this could be I would really be I would really appriecate it.

Thanks

What side is the pain on? If it's on the right, it might be appendicitis. Otherwise, it sounds like might have gotten an intestinal infection.

Hi, my intention is not to scare you but this is something that requires medical attention. The type of stool you mentioned is indicative of internal bleeding.

My ex husband just had a rupture of his abdominal aorta and this sounds familiar. Please see a doctor asap to rule this out.

Thank you,

I have had my appendix and gall bladder removed. The internal bleeding does scare me I have called my doc and am waiting for a call back from him now.

Thank you for your advice!
