writes:Hi!I'm concerned about a stomach pain i've had for about 3 weeks!It's similar to period pain but not as low down, and the pain started as 'the time of the month' was approaching. Anyway they finished over a week ago and still... i'm havin bad pain. It's constant aswel, sometimes I can barely feel it and other times I'm crippled over in pain! Its usually worse in a morning and at night.I've got no other symptoms at all, I thought maybe it was stress-related since i've been kinda down in recent months. Could it be anything serious?I hope someone knows what it might be, because I really don't wanna go to the doctors!

Well, personally, I don't think you should leave it any longer to be honest, if it's hurting you that much and you're doubled up in agony, then it's better to be safe than sorry sweetheart, go to A and E and get it checked.
Don't think that you'll be wasting their time, that's what they're there for, and if it turns out to be nothing, then that's a bonus, don't you think?
Please get it checked out.
BigSis.

Thanx for all the help, I actually thought it could be my appendix but my mother checked in the medical book and it said that the pain will occur on the right hand side, but my pain is in the middle and sometimes on the left side! I don't even think the pain is severe enough to be my appendix though because most of the time it isn't too bad! I just can't understand what it can be.
It kinda varies, sometimes it is around the tummy area or a sharp pain on the left side and other times its quite low down!

Where's our question asker gone? I've been thinking, I don't want to alarm you, but it could even be your appendix.
I had mine out about 20 years ago, but still remember the pain well. Is this what you're experiencing?...
The symptoms of appendicitis can vary, but they usually start with a pain in the middle of the abdomen, around the tummy button, that comes and goes. Over the next few hours the pain tends to move to the lower right hand side of the abdomen and gradually become worse. This pain is usually accompanied by nausea. Some people vomit, completely lose their appetite, need to urinate a lot, have a raised temperature and a furry mouth.
The area over the appendix will be very tender and as the pain becomes worse, any movement, even coughing or laughing, can aggravate it. For this reason, someone with appendicitis usually wants to lie very still.
Although these are usual signs of appendicitis, symptoms can vary. So, if someone is complaining of constant abdominal pain that doesn't go away after a few hours ~ you should seek medical advice immediately.
Now, where are you?? We need to know you're ok.

 Does it feel like period pain exactly? My friend had this and it turned out to be an ovarian cyst which is not usually serious and can be treated using medicine or keyhole surgery. The best thing would be to speak to your doctor. While it's unlikely to be anything serious, without medical knowledge the best any of us can do is speculate

Did you say you're 100% sure it ISN'T? Ooops...I read that wrong, didn't I?
I doubt very much that's it's anything serious, and I very much doubt it's cancer, so don't you be stressing and worrying your pretty little head over that, but if the pain continues over the weekend, I do advise you to make an appointment with the doctor, if anything, just to ease your mind, you have nothing to lose.
Can you please tell me, is there any particular reason why you don't want to go to your GP?

Do not ask us. There may be some agony aunts in the medical profession who could give you input but get to your gp TODAY and let us know what the outcome was. I would think diet might have something to do with it.

For goodness sake!!! Nice friend you have there! Give her a slap for me please...heh heh...only kiddin' kiddo.
Take some fresh fruit or juice, if you don't have fresh fruit in the house, see if there's any tinned fruit in the cupboard, go and raid it! That should help you go. Or have some of that 'orrible All Bran cereal, once you've shed your load ~m that pain should disperse. Prune juice is good too.
{I've just remembered the part in the film 'Dumb and Dumber', have you seen it? The part where he's stuck on the toilet after his mate gives him a large dose of laxatives}. LOL!!!
Sorry, it's not funny, I know you're in pain, but do try what I suggested and see how you get on.
: )
I can't wait to hear the results. Let me know, yeah?
