Severe abdominal pain!!!!!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!

Question

okay so i've had sever stomach aches that are lower - in my intestine/bowels. i've had them for about three months and they're extremly bad. my doctor has put me on medication, but wont do anything other than test my blood. He kind of asumes everything else, he thinks its cuz i was constipated but i have frequent bowel movements. i do get constipated, and i do get pains from that. laxitives and stool softeners increase the pain. i cant stand taking them - what do i do - im getting an upper GI in a few days, would that point out any problems - and what can i do til then. schools starting soon so i've gotta do something - please - what can i do

Answer 1

my mother had those problems and they first diagnosed her with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)....turns out she acually has Crohn's Disease

I would discuss this with your DR

Answer 2

Just go to the doctor as soon as possible

Answer 3

go back to your doctor , and explain to him that his traetment didn't work , that you still have severe pain , if he didn't help you go to another doctor, am sure you will be OK before school start . Good luck.

Answer 4

Maybe you have gallstones?  Usually the GI will show what can be wrong within your abdominal area.  I would be guessing that you have gallstones or your gallbladder is weak.  Glad you are getting that test done.  Hopefully it will show what is wrong.  Good luck and may your health be blessed.

Answer 5

It won't affect your upper GI.

I'd ask the doc to refer you to another doc for a second opinion. Ask your upper GI doc about your lower GI symptoms.

Answer 6

Hopefully the upper GI will help find out what the problem is. If not, you may want to look into finding another doctor that specializes in stomach/digestive problems.

Good luck to you. I hope you feel better soon.

Answer 7

see what the GI shows... if you dont feel like you are getting proper care, switch doctors....

Answer 8

I was in the same boat as you are in now. I went to the doctor and I had a CT Scan. As it turns out, I have 'Diverticulitis'.

I've been told that it's from lack of fiber in my diet. They told me that the pain is called a "Flare up". I'm not saying it's what you have, but the symptoms sound the same. Instead of taking laxatives, try apple juice or a simply boil a pot of water, cover it. You can put it in the refrigerator or leave it sit out until it cools. Drink a nice glass of it, in no time it will flush you out. It's only sterilized water, no pesky chemicals.

Answer 9

What kind of medication did your doctor put you on? What does he think you have? You didn't tell us. An upper GI will only test just that, your upper GI. If you are having problems in your lower colon area that is a lower GI. I think we need more info, since your doctor ordered and upper GI, maybe he suspects something else?

Answer 10

it could be your gal-bladder you need to have it checked out i';d say go to the hospital's emergancy room and tell them exactly what you typed here p.s. have someone else drive

Answer 11

drink more fluids, lay off of iron (red meat,) and a lot of salads to start.

After the upper GI, it should show what is causing the blockage.
