Since Summer 2008, I have had lower right hand pain (appendix area) and have had the following done:
Feb 09 - Abdo ultra sound and internal TV ultrasound - nothing to report - all normal
Mar 09 - X-ray to check for gall stones - normal
July 09 - Appointment with Gyncologist (saw him July 2007) as I had endometriosis. He performed internal examination and said it was nothing to do with endo or my ovaries - said it was IBS.
Aug 09 - referred to gastro consultant. She said from my description that it wasnt IBS but would instruct a CT scan of my abdo and pelvic region - this was inconclusive - nothing abnormal found, no blockages, masses etc.
Nov 09 I've now just had a colonoscopy done - again nothing found.
I will now go back to my GP but now wondering if it's just something I have :huh: to live with? It's not bad enough to take pain relief but it's just something that I'm aware is there. Sort of like someone prodding me with a blunt knife. Can last a few seconds or can be on/off for a period of time.
Food diary kept - no pattern and I kept a pain chart for 6 months - again no pattern.
Everything else normal, periods etc. Fit and healthy :blush:
