This is long but i did get help. I do the same way, it was my right foot and ankle, pain nearly to knee most often. I was told blood lots, NO testing did not support, no ankle injury etc… years later displayed food allergies. Foot worsened to daily pain, pain more extreme w/swelling daily. I was told authritious. Exrays showed yes some. They wanted surgery. I said no, my left foot had an injury once. Authritious was in it. They checked left was worse and had NO PAIN! So I chanel doctors.I finally gave up and at 63 was using a Walker just to move around. Then I had to have Hysterectomy, bladder sling, rectocel and another procedure in same area. 3 weeks later my bad foot was pretty good. I was off the walker and feeling great. THEN IT HIT. Other foot starting to hurt, wrist on left hurring, then back pain, R wrist and forearm…progressed in 4 short days to total wracking pain in every joint except hips and knees. In a wheelchair I could not even push with my hands, I was sent to a Rhumatologist. I was sent to the very best in my area. Yes my problem was RA. I was told had they gotten to me when it was “just” that one foot they could have helped me not go downhill that way. Short term I was given shots and meds. Then they started me on long term meds which keep it from spreading and remove symptoms. I hurt pretty bad for another maybe two weeks (bedridden and wheelchair) then another week on walker, some arm hand pain.. f
Beginning if the fourth week I was back at work, NO WALKER… NO CANE… still had bad days but mostly just pain or two here or there. If it bothers me now it is in my right hand. What worked for me was the doctor who specialized in RA. But diet eliminating gluten helps and I eliminated dairy too. I was told that was the reason I reached 64 before having it so bad. And the diet helped me not to have bone damage. So think about diet changes but deffinately see RA specialist doctor asap. (I will pray you get a good one like I d I d)

Hi Tim. Pain on its own is difficult to assess without further symptoms (example diarrhea) or knowing the medical history. It would be irresponsible to say if it is anything dangerous or serious. She should seek medical attention. You can read this article on lower left abdominal pain (https://www.healthhype.com/acute-and-chronic-left-lower-llq-abdominal-pain-diagnosis.html) and as you can see there are so many possible causes. It may be nothing serious but this could also be the early symptom of many serious diseases. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

Hi Frankie. Pain and vomiting can occur for a number of reasons. Gastrointestinal diseases are the more obvious causes, but it can also occur with certain kidney diseases. It is difficult to say with any certainty, especially on an online platform. If you are not satisfied with the current medical attention you are receiving then you should consult with another doctor/medical specialist. A gastroenterologist or internist may be a good place to start.

amichelle0415,

women often report various symptoms after getting Mirena IUD. I strongly recommend you to find a gynecologist soon.

Also, I’ve noticed my strings are not as long as they used to be. When I check for them, I can usually feel them around my cervix and now I can barely feel the string coming out at all.
