agonising stabbing pain coming and going what is it do you think?

[zippitippitoes]

..at the top of pelvis on left hand side, just started

Hmm. Not appendix, that's right hand side. Could it be kidney stones? Is it absolutely agonising (in the nicest possible way of course)?

wind?

Appendix can start on the left tho......really hope it sorts for you soon, whatever it is....

bowel problems are you constipated

it was agonising it seems to have stopped again now???

I t was I'm going to have to go to hospital agonising..hot knife being turned but now vanished completely!

Mid cycle ovulation pain? Bowel spasm?

IBS can be horrifically painful too

I guess I shall have to see if it comes back again, hopefully not

I'm pretty certain it's endometriosis/ovary now..I'm used to getting pains but these were something else apparently cysts can burst or something

many years ago I got out of bed and within a few minutes felt a "thud" in my abdomen. Gradually I started feeling hot, very hot and it appeared to be creeping upwards. It was absolutely unbearable. Then the aching started - dull to start with but definitely worsening until I was consumed with pain and had to sit on the loo rocking back and forth. Eventually it all subsided and I had an appointment with a gynae a couple of weeks later due to weird cycle. He said I described perfectly a cyst bursting.

I had something like this a few months ago. I actually collapsed the pain was so bad and when I came too, I started throwing up (from the pain). I never made it to hospital (it was ds's first day at school and I really had to get up and get him there!) but did manage to take an anti-cramping pill (buscopan) that kicked in after about 40 mins and damped down the pain enough for me to walk.

I suspect it was a cyst bursting but then, I knew it was ovary related as I was almost due on and it felt like v intense labour pains.

If it comes back and you're not sure what it is, I would give the GPs a call.

You have my every sympathy zippi.

I have an on-and-off abdo pain that I have suffered from for years, LH side between my bottom rib and my hip, slightly in towards my belly button IYSWIM. It can stop me in my tracks it is so painful. I can go months between attacks or sometimes only days, there is seemingly no pattern to it.

Have tried everything to track down the problem - food diaries, ex-rays, ultra sound, anti-spasmodic drugs etc etc.

My GP tells me not to worry, since none of the tests have shown anything up. His only advice to me is to go straight to A&E if I have the pain and a rising temperature at the same time, otherwise I have to 'stop fretting'

zippi - how are you feeling today?

No recurrence of the pains thank goodness, thank you for asking.

I had this about six months ago the pain was unbearable went to the hospital and they kept me in as they thought it was apendix but turned out not to be and they said it was probably a burst cyst after they scanned me . It
was awful but went and its never come back they gave me great tablets though which I think can be bought over the counter called Buscopan which is for these types of pain spasms which I now keep in the cuboard in case, your right though almost as bad as labour pain , for me anyway.
