Abdominal pain mid-lower right side?
Question:
Answers:
Gallbladder, gallbladder, gallbladder...get it checked. And not just an ultrasound, ask for a HIDA-scan. Not sure on costs. The gallbladder malfunctioning seems like such a small thing (and it can be a really easy diagnosis/fix). But, it can also get missed and cause lots of severe pain and damage over time. For me it did, and the situation you describe sounds similar. When I was almost 19 I started having sharp, searing pain in the mid-upper right side of my abdomen (belly button to rib line or so), along with nausea and vomitting periodically. Over the next couple of years the pain/nausea increased in severity and frequency, and over time it just wasn't intermittent anymore. A very very long story made short(er)...after years of misdiagnoses, I finally convinced a Dr to check my gallbladder again (it'd been ruled out very early on due to my age, size, lack of children and a 'clear' ultrasound). The good news was that they were able to diagnose the issue from a HIDA scan, and then remove my gallbladder fairly easily shortly after the test (I was 22 by then). Unfortunately, in my situation I was left with permanent nerve damage, causing chronic pain in essentially the same area (the nerves basically got "burned out and stuck on 'on'"). I'm 28 now, and just had a Spinal Cord Stimulator implanted (it's helping, yay!). So, keep on the Dr's to help you find out what's going on. Had I been able to have, or even knew about, the HIDA-scan earlier, the affected nerves may not have been damaged. It's worth it, and required, to be persistent when it comes to your health (especially as a young woman who "shouldn't be sick").
Right side abdominal pain can be related to several things include appendicitis, stomach, gallbladder problems, or female problems including ovarian issues or endometriosis causing referred pain to the right side. Appendicitis is doubtful since the pain is ongoing for two years and you dont have pain with bending or lifting
The questions you need to ask are does the pain occur after you eat? or is it associated with ur period? Is the alleviated with anything? Does it get better or worse after you eat? Do you drink? Do you take birth control? Vomiting? Constipation?
It would be advisable to see you family doctor first so he can determine what is going on. Hospital costs could be anything, but first you need someone to see you such as your family doctor.
Appendicitis
or w.e something with ur appendix i think. You should ask a doctor cause it can explode and kill you.
but 2 years seems like a long time so not sure if it could be appendicitis
