For past 6 months I have had on and off attacks of what feel like nerve pain on either right or left side of my navel. The pain lasts a few seconds and is sharp lancing pain and comes every few minutes and up to now has not lasted longer than 2 days at a time.
I have probable mild ms, plus a damaged spine.
I have been investigated inside out for this pain - had appendix removed and exp operation so had everything looked at while surgeon had me opened up ( 6 inch wound!) plus female bits investigated and just gone through horrible bowel tests and all normal.
One dr says irritable bowel another says nerve pain from ms yet another says nerve pain from damaged spine.
I haven't had an attack for about 6 weeks but it started again today, don't think I will get any sleep with it but heyho! I keep telling myself that they couldn't find a reason for it with all my innards out on the operating table so I should stop worrying and just deal with the pain but pain and health anxiety don't make good bedfellows!!
