Hey all,
Did so good all year about my health anxiety until I got strep throat about a month ago..
Was put on antibiotics and took some probiotics as well halfway through and a week or so after.
Well as soon as I was done on the antibiotics, I started getting some stitch like cramps in my right abdomen between the bottom of my ribs and hip. Also can feel it in my back in the same spot it's in on the front. Sometimes it just feels like an ache and if I'm moving too much, it feels more like a stitch, and sometimes I dont feel it at all.
It doesnt seem to be relieved by bowel movements and I've been trying to relate it to diet but seems kind of random. It's been going on (and off) for about 3 weeks.
I did have a lot of gas and tummy troubles the first week so I put it down to that but its continuing after everything else has calmed down.
Here's the part I find odd, if I press in on the area that hurts, I can feel a hard spot. I think it's my intestines I'm feeling but they usually arent hard. And now when i feel the ache or stitch, it's hard. It stays that way for usually a day or so then goes away and comes back. Is it a spasm? Blockage? Trapped gas?
I went to my doctor last week (unrelated to this) but asked about it anyway and she did a urine test for kidneys and it came back fine and she didnt look into it any further.
Should I go back? Has anyone felt anything similar?
My anxiety has been calming down so I figured all my symptoms would too but this one hasnt.
And I quit taking probiotics about a week ago, was worried they were somehow contributing.
