I am a 52 year old male. I have had a soreness in my lower right side (below ribs but above hip bone - on a pain scale of 1-10 maybe a 2) for a long time. I also have a fatty cyst above this area (under armpit) which has now grown to a larger size and is painful) which has also been around as longer than the above described pain. My old doctor always told me that the cyst likely was irrating side muscle causing the lower right side discomfort.
About a month ago I also began having lower abdominal pain (below belly button but above groin (also on a pain scale of 1-10 maybe a 2) which pretty much goes across the front (left to roght side). At the same time I started having lower back pain and slight soreness in the right hip area.
I have no other symptoms such as change in stool/urination habits, no fever, no real intense pain, no bllod in stools, etc., no nausea, no weight loss.
I had my physical recently and reviwed all of this with my doctor. He did all standard blood work and a through physical exam with all results being positive (no issues). I was told it is time to have the cyst removed (scheduled in a week or two) and that my back and hip pain was likely cyatic nerve related. He had no suggestion as to what the admoninal pain was and made no further suggestions.
I have since visited a chiroprator and they took xrays showing some hip and lower back nerve issues which they are working on.
I still remain concerned about the abdominal discomfort along with this long term right side soreness. I am schedule for a colonoscopy in early January (mainly cause I am over 50). Should I do any thing else and should I be concerned about something worse here?
