What Causes Severe Abdominal Pain?
I am having severe abdominal pain that is located between my belly button and penis. It radiates to both sides of my abdomen and back. It feels like someone has a hold of my guts and squeezing them. It is a sharp burning pain. I get this about two to three times a year. I went to a gastro dr today and am scheduled for a Ct scan on 11/17/14 and colon/endoscopy on 12/1/14. I have diabetes that was diagnosed about 7 years ago and have had a heart bypass in 2000. I have had the abdominal pain since I was about 21 and am 63 now. I've been thru scans and testing and nothing has ever been found. I am tired of feeling like this but I just need to know what can I do for the pain in the mean time, if anything? Also, I am male.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Hello
You are having this pain since 42 years intermittently 2-3 times in a year. This may be due to these possibilities , these include:
1 Amoebic colitis , diagnosis can be confirmed by stool examination for Entamoeba Histolyca .By physical examination by a physician as colon are palpable and mild tender in nature .
2 Worm infestation ,diagnosis can be confirmed by stool examination .
3 Indigestion due to over eating or spicy or greasy food.
Since you are having this pain for 42 years , this in itself indicate that this is not due to any serious disease like cancer.
Pain occurs 2-3 times in a years so deal as mentioned above .
Good luck.
So consult your physician and take treatment .
