I have had lower abdominal pain for 5 days. I went to the doctor, he sent me to the hospital.
They said there is nothing wrong. pain in usually worse in the am, and when I bend over or stand up from sitting.
Pain can feel like a muscle spasm, sharp, intense, intermittent, cramp. Also relieved when I pass gas. What could be causing this

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi. This is classical finding::: pain is relieved on passing gas.
There is a possibility of sigmoid volvulus or severe colitis.
Volvulus can be diagnosed only on standing x-ray of the abdomen when there is pain ( and if local distension).
A course of antibiotic and metronidazole for colitis can give you a cure.
Volvulus may need a small surgery.
Consult a Gastro Surgeon.
