Constant Cramp Pain In Left Lower Abdomen. Have Lupus, Sjogren S, Antiphospholipid Symndrome. Any Relation ?
Hi, I have been having a constant cramp-pain in my left lower side which feels like a runner's cramp especially when I bend down. I do have lupus, sjogren's syndrome, antiphospholipid syndrome and ITP, though I can't see how this would be related. I also have some fibroid tumors, but the only large tumor is in the upper area of the uterus. If it is in fact the fibroid tumor causing the pain, is there a solution other than a hysterectomy (I cannot take hormones after such due to the antiphospholipid syndrome). Thanks for your time.

Hi and thanks for the query,
There is actually no direct relationship between the pain and the health conditions that you present. A clinical examination might be necessary. Excluding gastritis is necessary. Other accompanying signs like fever, diarrhea might be needed during the evaluation process. The past medical history, an abdominal ultrasound coupled with a complete clinical review might be very useful in determining the cause of the pain. A chest X ray showing the lower borders of both lung fields could be required at some point.
I suggest you consult your internist. Thanks and kind regards,
