Hi everyone

I've Been having discomfort in my tummy below the belly button on the right side and groin area

Now for a few years I've been back and forth to the gp I've had the camrea into my bowels which are all clear 

The gp has given me ibs medication  not working 

The pain is a dull ache and gives me back aches I can't sleep a full night has it seems much worse on a night. It's there all the time I'm taking pain killers just a small relief but not long

If I sit for 2 long and then stand up it feels like a older person till I get moving and idea what this could be

Thanks

    Hi Katmicky

    The best person to answer your question is your GP, your symptoms havent got better then its time to go back to see them. Your symptoms could be down to a number of things; gallstones, kidney stones,ovarian cyst etc. so I wouldn't jump to thoughts of cancer. Call your GP and put an appointment on - all the best x

    Hi it started a couple of years

    They said it's hip pain

    Then a hernia 

    Then Ibs

    But to be honset it's the right side when when laid flat it seems to be in the groin and tummy 

    I have bloating and back ache with it I'm 48 years old thought this is the start of the menopause 

    But over the last few weeks the aches and pain is always there  xxx taking pain killers all the time and some night it's that bad if I wake up on my back my hubby needs to help me sit up 

    Made appointment to go see the gp again

    Sounds like yours come and goes, my pain is there every single day in the last 1 year and 3 months. I've been back to my GP today since my pain was really bad last night, he requested series of blood tests again and poo test. I just want this to be ruled out it's so upsetting and frustrating. 

     

    All the best to you hope We'll be sorted out soon. Xx
