Constant stomache ache?

Question

help! for over a month or so i have been having constant stomache ache. sometimes it feels like i am just really really hungry but i have eaten. other times it can be a sharp cramp and other times a general ache. it happens every day and i dont know why. im scared of going to the doctor. i hate needles and there is no way im having an operation or anything but i dont think it is appendicitis so dont know. any ideas???

Answer 1

Irritable bowel syndrome, pregnancy (coupled with vaginal pain), and appendicitis are possibilities.  Here is one site that could be helpful:  http://familydoctor.org/online/famdocen/...

You need to see a doctor.  You don't know why you're having these symptoms, and it may or may not be life-threatening if left untreated.  A doctor may not necessarily use a needle or suggest operation.  If you're that scared, the first thing you should do is make a phone call to your doctor.  At least talk with a professional.  

Just remember that needle prick lasts for a second.  You don't want to wait till something gets out of hand and results  in something bad that could last way longer than that.
