Low level right abdomen pain

[BiarritzCrackers]

Thinking this is too insignificant to call the GP about, but not sure as it's been 5 days.

Really low level continuous ache, to the right of my belly button mostly and a bit lower, sensation increases when i lie on ether side. I can do all normal activity.

I am used to abdominal discomfort as have IBS-D and GORD, but this is different sensation so can't work out what it is.

Nothing else amiss - urinating, bowel movements as usual, no temp, pain is low. What it feels like, is ovulation pain, but it isn't (I already ovulated from the other side, and that only lasts a day or two).

Some things it could potentially be:
Ovarian cyst
Trapped wind
Fibroids
Constipation
Appendicitis
Grumbling appendix
PMS cramps (mine come and go for 10 days a month).

Do you feel unwell at all? Maybe take something like a buscopan and see if that gets rid of it. If not and it doesn’t go away then give your GP a call on Monday

No, I don't feel in any way unwell. I did the 111 online check thing, which came up with 'call you GP today' but that's because I said I'd had abdominal pain persistently - it is very low though. Eurgh, seems so silly, I think I should probably just leave it. It's been preoccupying me for the last few days, wish I could stop noticing it!

If it’s is worrying you then I would call the gp.

It sounds similar to how I felt before my first gall bladder attack.

I have this exact same pain on and off, low level dull ache, Google of course says appendicitis but I've had it since about October. I'm having a scan on 21st Jan for possible gallbladder issues. I've had what I think are a few gallbladder attacks over last year or so but hadn't imagined lower right abdomen (out towards hip) would be connected.

I decided not to, but will be restrained about food and drink over the next few days. The pain went off for a bit, but came back in the last hour, lower inside of hip. I've been doing prodding - the more sensitive bit is higher up, centre section, adjacent to belly button, but out to the side.

I had been reading gallbladder stuff, did wonder about it, but thought not as symptoms are all so light. I've also developed hives in the last month, my lips swelled up a couple of times too. Wonder if it's all connected. I wish I could have a long sit down with a GP and talk through everything!

Does it hurt more when you let go or prod? If on letting go then GP asap as suggests grumbling appendix.

When I went to the loo, I had some very light bleeding, only the tiniest bit, but had the same on the 9th - both times in between other cycle events (period was 1st-6th, ovulation was around 14-15th). Maybe it's the right ovary doing something. So hard to work out what's going on!

No, not hurting more when I let go. I didn't know about that; useful to know!

The test is not whether it hurts more on letting go, but whether the act of letting go also causes pain.

You could try eating a very fatty meal - this is likely to bring on the pain if it’s gall stones.

I get this a week after my period, and I have fibroids.

I was about to say I've had no diarrhea with my similar symptoms but after last night I won't!
Two helpings of cream laden trifle probably not a good idea
I'd give your GP a ring or ooh so they can see you hopefully at some point and maybe get you on a list if they think it's gallbladder. Hope you're feeling better today.

I did the 111 online check thing, which came up with 'call you GP today'

Do you really think MNetters are going to come up with a better suggestion than that?

It came up with that because of the symptoms being similar to appendicitis.

TheSilentStars sorry that you're not well today too; hope this afternoon feels better for you.

I had a bit more streaky blood, so have done the 111 online thing, and see what they say when someone calls.

How are you?

I have hab a similar pain on and off for a long time, mine is more of a pinching, stabbing pain..I do have IBS though so I assumed it's connected to that. Hopefully you are feeling better now.

How are you getting on @BiarritzCrackers? Did you manage to see a doctor?

I've also had this pain on and off (mid cycle but not every cycle) for about 8 years now! I've had two ultrasounds in that time and they couldn't find a cause so put it down to probable endometriosis esp as (sorry TMI) it's v painful during (attempted and quickly abandoned) sex sometimes on the days it's grumbling away. No other symptoms though.

(But I'd still advise getting your pain checked out)

Hello! So, it got really rather more painful on the Sunday, so had a good chat with the GP service at nearest hospital, going through 111. She thought from what I was saying that it was most likely to be ovary or colon related, or possibly a trapped nerve, and given that the pain wasn't excruciating and I could prod all around the area, she said they wouldn't be able to much for me there, and as I didn't have any alarming symptoms, to wait until GP is back open, or see if it goes away.

So, I will call them, but tomorrow, as I imagine they are going to be inundated this morning. I am so sure it is something to do with the reproductive system. Thanks for the advice and support, it made me less worried!

I had that once. My infection levels were sky high on blood tests but a&e could find no explanation. It seemed to go away on its own.

Just been reading

Dd has very similar symptoms and was in agony for about an hour boxing day night and vomiting

Shes had the pain for 9 days now
