please help diagnose abdominal pain - sent to ooh who shrugged their shoulders

[globalphenomenon]

I have just been to ooh dr (following 111 call) for pretty severe abdominal pain and cramps.
He ruled out gallstones, pregnancy uti etc and said he didn't know.

I have not really eaten for 48 hours and the pain is getting worse. i feel generally unwell. dr obvs not concerned but I have things to do! I can't spend another day in pain.
any idess what it could be and how to make it better?

(btw 111 and ooh were fast efficient and lovely. brilliant service. just no answers)

did they give you a scan? Are you on or near a period?

Where exactly is the pain?

thanks for replies. pain not specfic generally lower abdomen. I am mid cycle. pretty sure it is not uterus.

I can only go on what I experienced. Over several months the day after or 2 days after a period I would be in excruiating pain, it was worse than child birth. I kept a diary and went to see my GP. Sent to a consultant who scanned me and diagnosed a small cyst on my ovary and endometriosis. It is really good to keep a diary and rate the pain out of 10...I did this for 3-4 months and could see a pattern it was always around my period so I made sure I was local to home...it would come on without warning at any time and make me feel so ill with pain I would nearly pass out the only thing that helped was to sleep it off in bed for 1-2 hours.

Now my friend experienced similar symptons but was told hers was hormonal after nothing showed on a scan

I would make an appt to see your GP...when I first went to mine I told her that the pain was really bad on a scale of one to 10 it was an 11 also I felt I coped better with child birth ... she immediately said on just that she would automatically refer me - in fact she did a find and book appt on her computer there and then for the following week - your GP can do this for you btw if you feel you cant wait to be seen

Could be an ovarian cyst maybe? Am surprised they didn't refer you for a gynae scan

I would keep an ongoing pain and symptom diary along the lines as the other respondents have suggested.

OOH dr sounded pretty much useless!. There is always a reason for pain and mid cycle pain should always be checked out further by a gynae to see if endometriosis is the root cause.

DD's year group have had a bug going round no vomiting, diarrhoea or temperature just severe abdominal cramps like you are describing 37 out of 40 10/11 year olds have had all being sent for home due to abdominal cramps. GPs saying just a bug.

Kidney stones? Mine felt like labour pains.

Did they examine your abdomen? It's not difficult to locate the organs that are involved in the pain if they conducted a decent examination.
