stomach pains

Hi i have a question i am a 24 yo female i had my appendix removed 4 years ago and i have 3 kids. I woke up this morning with pain that started on my right side and moved to the mid section of my stomach where my belly button is. At times the pain can be severe and the rest of the time it i mild and i can handle it. Does anyone know what this could be? I thought maybe i strained a muscle but im not for sure. Thanks in andvance

I had something familiar happen to me. I'm not saying it's the same with you because I don't know but I think you should get it checked out.
I had my appendix removed 3 years ago and last Summer I began to get stomach pains and towards the right where my appendix used to be. I finally had to go to the ER because it got so bad and they did a Cat Scan and said that a mass in my small intestine near where the appendix used to be, in my terminal ileuam was causing some constriction and needed to be removed. I had the surgery in August and feel great now! This also confirmed the diagnosis of Crohns which they had suspected before.
Like I said, it could be something totally different with you, but any time you're feeling pain, it's your body's way of telling you something's wrong and you really need to get it checked out.
I wish you the best. I hope you find out soon what's going on so that you can feel better. Take care.
