side pain

[Tori]

i hope this is in the right place

i keep getting excrutiating pains in my left side from just below my ribs to my hip and i was wondering if anyone knew what they are? any ideas appreciated :)

im not sure but is that where your appendix are or is that the other side.

[lollymay]

appendix is on your right side so i cant be that i dont think.

im not sure what that is maybe you should go to the doctors just to get it checked out if it is that bad,

[Tori]

hmm, i might get it checked out if it continues...

[Katy]

i think thats trhe best option. mind you i dont know much i thought they were your appendix.

[adorableangel]

does it feel like stitch??????????

[Tori]

no, it goes down the skin if you see what i mean

[hazey]

appendix is definenately on the right just below tummy button, so it isnt that, you say it is on the skin,? then it will be a pulled muscle,but if the pain is internal then it will be your bowel,the bowel if constipated or you are stressed,will cause the pain, also just having trapped wind will give the most horrible strong pains,if the pains don't go after you have been to the loo a couple of times,then you should get it checked.

[Tori]

i am kinda stressed so it could be that, and it could be a pulled muscle. i'll see if it continues :)

yeah it really doesn't sound like your appendix, it's a lot lower down that you're saying. plus it would have got a lot worse by now.
my friend had mystery pain in her side on xmas day and the doc at the hospital was convinced she had an ectopic pregnancy, and basically wouldn't believe that she was a virgin. numpty. but i doubt you have that either so don't worry! like hazy said you might just have a bit of trapped wind or similar.

[Tori]

it seems to have gone now, so thats okay :)

[shannisrules]

oh good maybe you just pulled a muscle or you just had one of those random pains lol
