Abdomial Pain - Women's Health Message Board

I have had these really bad pains below my navel for the last three days and they have gotten worse. Yesterday i really noticed them getting more painful throughout the day and into the night. Last night my entire abdomen was hurting. Sharp pains on my upper right and left sides, under my rib cage especially on my left side and if i pressed on, below my navel this pain would shoot up my under my ribs to my chest. Also, like the area where my appedix is on both sides were hurting really badly. Today whenever i get up from my chair below my navel i get that sharp pain but it isnt as severe as before. Now my period isnt due for another two weeks, so its not that. At times i thought it might be coming because some of the pain felt like the cramps i would get. The first day i started having the pains i thought it was like... gas but its not helping with the pain.

So does this sound serious at all?

Hi,
I just wanted to tell you that i have the same kind of pain around my navel. I've had it for almost 8 months now. It comes and goes throughout the day but its every day. It's just like you described too with pain under my ribs once in awhile too. I have seen many doctors for it and I have also been diagnosed with endometriosis but my gynocolgist suggested that i go see a gastroenorologist to look inside my stomach. She says that kind of pain is normally not related to endometriosis and so she thinks it could be something wrong inside my stomach intestines or something. I go to see the gastro doc at the end of this month. Have you seen any doctors for your pain yet?
Sincerely,
Jenny

i actually just got back from the doctors...and he told me that it could be a urinary infection...so i gotta go back tomorrow and give him a sample..but he also said he doesnt really know what else it could be..so if it doesnt get better he told me to get an ultrasound (for my pelvis)
but u know i wonder if it is gas problems..like before if i didnt have gas i would get this sort of pain but it would go away after i did it...soo i dont know wats wrong......wish it would go away so i wouldnt have to worry about this kinda of stuff.

i would see a gyno and a gastro doctor. rule out anything with the reproductive organs and then check to see if it's IBS or something in the intestines. i just had all kinds of pain just like that...turned out to be an IBS flare up from taking meds (from an infection). i would go see the doctor(s) as soon as you can so you don't worry about it. i know i worried for 3 weeks and the worrying alone wore me out.
