Hello 
Just wanted to see if I can get some insight on my symptoms. I started getting adbominal pain , not to severe but like a stabbing pain in different part of my abdomen. It first started on the right upper side but not I feel it happening on the left side upper and lower which concerns me allot. I went to my GI doc because if blood in stool and he did a sigmoidoscopy but he ended up going in further since he said I was tolerating it so well. Everything was fine there. Just hemorrhoids. But my adbominal pain hasn't gone away. I also started getting chest pain which I went to the Er for and said everything was good. I have really bad anxiety so it could have been that. So far the chest pain has gone away but now I feel different pin point pains on both side if my adbomen.

Gi doc sent me to do an ultrasound. Which I got dinne on Wednesday. I dint know how im going to fo through this week without knowing the results. Everytime I feel the first pain I start thinking I gave cancer since it's in multiple location not just one. I did get blood test done which almost came normal except my liver ALT is high at 39. Have very low vitamin D. And HDL is low but other than that everything is ok.

Has anyone experienced this kind of pain in multiple locations in the abdomen. Doc said it might be gall stones but at the time i only had pain on the upper right part. Now i gave it in both.

I have had similar, possibly. I also have Crohn’s disease but realized once I was in remission, that when I am stressed I will still get some abdominal pain unrelated to the IBD and based more on the stress and anxiety. I find doing some deep breathing consistantly and focusing on expanding my gut usually helps.

J.,

It sounds like your tests have all come back with favorable results so far, which while good...leaves you without answers.

I too get intermittent gut pains that have come and go for years. It does coincide with my anxiety and I chalk it up to IBS.

If your latest test comes back clear (I have no doubt it will!) then you know you should concentrate your efforts on your anxiety management and treat for IBS. (stress management, food dieary, dietary modifications, ect…)

Let us know what you hear....and keep posting for support!

Hello
Thank you for your replies.
I hope so. But my mind is just expecting bad news with all t these weird symptoms.

Plus I've have lost 20 pounds in 2 month, which I did stop eating unhealthy food because of the pain. Then I found a small pump on the back of my neck and side. I do have a skin condition called hidratentis supurativa so im not sure if they are related or if it's a swollen lyphm node

I know some things might be my anxiety as I had a bad couple months due to some symptoms and panic attacks but everything is just showing up at the same time in which it concerns me allot.

I called the doctors office yesterday to see if they had recieved my results as I was getting the pain a but more. Was thinking of going to ER. The lady said they have the results. She said she would send the doc a message and mark it as urgent but he won't be in until tomorrow. So now im worried it was something bad

Not necessarily bad, they frequently don’t have receptionists give out any results good or bad. Have you tried any deep breathing or anything to help with it until you can speak to the doctor?
