Hi Lara. The abdominal cavity has many different organs and it is difficult to isolate a cause for pain on its own without any other symptoms. Appendix would be a logical assumption but as you so rightly pointed out, it is unlikely to be the cause. It is not only digestive problems that could be a cause but even gynecological, muscular, urinary problems and so on could be a cause. There is really no way to say for sure unless you consult with a doctor who can perform the necessary diagnostic conditions to identify a cause.

Hi Dymeisha. It’s difficult to say with so little information and other symptoms present. As you can see from the article above there are many possible causes for abdominal pain. However, from what you describe this is most likely muscular. One or more of the muscles may have been strained and are in spasm at the moment. Therefore movements involving this muscle or opposing it may cause pain. If the pain is still persisting, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.

I turned the wrong way or something at work the other day now my side hurt when I move a certain way what can it be

Hi Karen. The strict definition of constipation is less than 3 bowel movements in a week with the passage of hard stool that is often difficult to pass out and requires some degree of straining. Two bowel movements in a month would definitely be considered as constipation. It may occur for a host of different reasons and could be related to your recent medical history. It definitely needs to be investigated further and treated to prevent complications like fecal impaction. This further investigation and the prescription of the appropriate treatment needs to be done by a doctor. If you are not receivng the attention your require from your current doctor(s) then you will need to see another doctor. If possible, consulting with a gastroenterologist at this point would be highly recommended.

Hi Yatt. We are glad that our response was helpful and that you doctor confirmed the diagnosis. Please follow through with the antibiotic course as prescribed by the doctor to ensure that the infection is eradicated. Don’t forget to follow up with your doctor thereafter.

Hi HealthHype. Thanks for your info. Yes indeed it was the same result told by the doctor.
At first I didn’t want to go to hospital. But now I am taking antibiotic for urinary tract infection.

Hi Yatt. Firstly the stomach is more on the left and high up where it is almost completely tucked under the ribcage. From what you are describing this is more likely to be a urinary tract problem, possibly even a urinary tract infection (UTI). However, it could also be a gallbladder problem but that usually does not present with urinary pain. At thsi point you need to speak your doctor. Most likely there will be further tests needed and then a diagnosis can be reached.

What should I do?
