What Causes Constant Pain In The Lower Abdomen?
Question: I have had constant lower right quadtrant pain for three years now
It is in the area of my appendix, pelvis area or bladder area
It is a throbbing pain if i iritate it by moving in certain ways such as sitting up from laying down or stretching
If i press on the area it is a sharp pain
If i press on the left side of my tummy it causes the sharp pain the affected area on the right side
If i take in a deep breath and my tummy expands it causes the pain
First investigation was a laporoscopy which they renoved my appendix just incase it was that but the appendix was fine and the pain continued
I then had a colonoscopy and proctitis was diagnosed but was not the cause of the pain
I then had a transvaginal ultrasound which was clear
I had an mri of my spine which was normal
My dr has said the tests are done nothing is there but i have to live with this pain and i am frightened it is cancer
I do suffer with constipation and i feel bloated but dont look it
This pain tugs and pulls at me and is stabbing when irratated but worse of all it is constant it does not ease at all
I am at the end of my tether and quite worried

Brief Answer:
Can be a nerve related cause.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The constant pain in the lower abdomen with no detectable cause on investigations can be a nerve related pain. It will be best if you consult a neurologist to rule out a nerve related cause. Such chronic pains with no detectable cause are a difficult thing to treat. Avoid constipation and try to have plenty of fluids and fiber rich foods. Do a hot compress in the area and if the pain eases on muscle relaxation then it can be a muscle pain also.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
