Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I am sorry for the situation you are going through.

Before going into final conclusions I want to have more of your medical data :
- any change in your daily diet (new foods introduced ?
- have you been travelling recently?
- is the pain notable after eating or all day long?
- are you also having nausea?
- any previous examination (e.g.abdominal ultrasound, fecal tests )?

Looking forward to have the requested information in!

I never had this before. 10 years ago I had a cyst on my ovary. This is higher than that. I have no nausea. I have normal appetite. My diet has not changed.
I feel no pain unless I press on the area. No recent travel. I have had Lymes twice. Both times my issues resolved with antibiotics.

Brief Answer:
Appendicitis/cholecyst/ovary cyst problems to rule out

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

Thank you for providing additional data.

Based on what you are reporting, my suggestions are as following:

1. possible appendicitis

2. cholecyst problems (sludge, inflammation/infection)

3. ovary cyst can also give the same problems.

I advise to repeat another abdominal ultrasound for further evaluation.

To my opinion, as long as you do not have problems with bowel movements and no GI issues (nausea, loss of appetite), then, that is not related to intestines but most probably to above-mentioned causes.

All the best!
Dr.Klerida
