Lower Right abdominal for months
Since April end of this year,I've been having abdominal pain in my lower right abdomen and I usually have stomach problems like constipation or diarrhea at times so I thought it would go away with it but it didn’t . In fact in some weeks,it got worse and when I went to the doc,they told me it was colitis.They ruled out appendicitis cus the pain would come and go but I was in much pain when I walked(not everytine i walked tho) or when I lied on my side to sleep,I had to sleep straight on my back without moving or else the pain wouldn't let me sleep. I would also get aches when I eat or when I feel like I need to use the toilet. I also got a lot of flatulence.
After a week of meds ,I didn’t get better. So I went to another doc who told me to get ultrasound (cus I had kidney stone and uti before) . Ultrasound showed nothing and so they described me some meds. However ,the pain didn’t stop and I only got bad constipation cus of the meds. I was afraid of getting bad hemorrhoids so I went back to the doc and then told me to just get duphalac and that the constipation was causing the pain or probably some intestinal issue. They didn’t understand that the pain had been there before the constipation phase. I got tired of doctors,so I just try to deal with it. Nowadays ,the pain is subtle ,a bit here and there however it can be a real ache, out of nowhere. Sometimes ,it seems to move towards the left abdomen and cause some pain there too.
I don't know what to do anymore. I am already suffering with my bladder and recurring uti. And I've not been a healthy person as a kid so it's all making me depressed.
