What Causes Dull Cramps In Lower Right Side Of Abdomen?

Question: Hello! I've had a dull cramp, pinching sensation in the lower right side of my stomach that sometimes moves to the upper stomach, pain in my right thigh for about 2 months now. Had a normal ultra sound of the abdomen, ovaries etc. All blood tests normal. Had this pain about 6 years ago, had upper endoscopy, colonoscopy all normal and CAT scan normal then as well. My doctor thinks maybe IBS or muscle skeletal and won't give me a CAT scan Bc too much radiation and I've had two from years ago. They say stress can be a factor. Have you heard of this before?
Brief Answer:
Seems Stress induced IBS
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing in
With all reports and endoscopy, USG normal the chances of IBS are most likely
I would suggest you manage your stress levels by meditation and take a good probiotic twice a day for minimum three weeks
If this does not help, get a stool report done if there is any form of infection take an antibiotic as per sensitivity report
Hope this helps
Do write back in case of concern

Ok, thank you. So that could cause right leg pain and when move certain ways? Its really only on the right side. Could it be muscle skeletal? And i feel like a CAT scan may be needed but the doctors said no. Now my boyfriend developed hpylori. Can that cause this ?
Brief Answer:
Leg pain could be musculoskeletal
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your followup
The leg pain could be musculoskeletal
Take a muscle relaxant
CT May not be the investigation of need
Instead a urease test will help rule out H Pylori infection
But anyways H Pylori can not cause leg pain
Hope this helps
