Stomach pains/cramps?

Question

My mom thinks this is probably just gas or constipation, but I just want to run my symptoms by on here and maybe someone else will have a different idea.

It started around Friday night/Saturday morning. My stomach and chest keep receiving sharp pains and cramps, and now my lower back is even starting to hurt a little. I've barely been able to eat anything the past two days because I feel so sick. Last night I did end up vomiting a little bit. I felt better after that, but now this morning the stomach cramps are back. The reason my mom thinks it's constipation/gas is because I've been constipated as well the past 2 days.

I'm really worried because I've had this same sort of pain before a couple years back, but I had an ultrasound and everything done when they thought it was my gall bladder and nothing turned up. They never did tell me what was wrong then.

If you have any suggestions on what this might be, please let me know.

Answer 1

I think your mom is right.  I have the same problem about once or twice a month.  Only I get constipated and sick.  I won't be able to go to the bathroom for like 3 days.  I get sharp pains and sick until I do go.  I have been taking an acidophilus supplement and it seems to have been helping.  Acidophilus is good bacteria found in your intestines. You can buy a bottle usually at your grocery store for $5 or so.  They are harmless.  I hope you feel better.  I know what it is like to have gastrointestinal problems.  Also, if your ovary has large cysts, it can cause back pain, vomiting, etc.  Take not to see if there is a pattern when your symptoms occur.  Get Well SOON!!

Answer 2

i've had a similar type thing.

your mum is probably right, but it could also be a stomach virus, which can cause you to vomit and causes stomach/back pain.
