Hello, I'm a fifteen year old girl. This month of October 2010, I've been experiencing some strange problems in my lower abdomen/pelvic region. I'm scared because it's been going on for almost a month now. It all started on October 2nd. My pelvis felt weird, pressurized, or uncomfortable. I've never experienced bloating before, and my mom just said it sounded like I was having some bloating. So I thought it would go away, but it still remained 24 hours of the day for TWO and a half WEEKS. I have currently stopped feeling the pressure/bloatedness. And during the discomfort, I was merely constipated. So now that that has stopped, I am feeling pains in my lower left pelvis. One of the days, my lower left pelvis would hurt; it felt kind of like a subtle stab, yet it was fairly tolerable. It would only hurt when I'd walk or extend my left leg. It went the next day. Then a few days later, I felt an aching pain in my lower left pelvic region (the same place) and it would come & go throughout the day. It felt like a tight squeeze, then release of pain. It lasted for 2 days. So this was after my bloating went. Now, I've been feeling like I have to urinate more frequently that I used to. I used to be able to sleep the whole night without urinating until the morning, but now I have to go to the restroom way earlier. I'll just be sitting there in class and I'll have the urge to go pee, but I'd have went pee like 20 minutes earlier. So that's kinda freaking me out. AND NOW, ontop of all of that, Yesterday (the 27th), I was running the mile in PE (which isn't abnormal) and right beside my bellybutton and in that region on the left side, everytime I would land on my left foot, it felt like there was something hollow in there, or pressurized just in that region. The best way I could describe it as is like a running cramp but lower in the left abdomen region. And after school on the ride home, the car kinda was bumpy & in that SAME AREA, it started hurting. It felt like a tube was in my left lower abdomen and it just hurt really bad. I don't know that it is and I'm really scared. As ridiculous as it sounds, I am worried that I have Ovarian Cancer. Please help out asap. My dad is unemployed with no work and we can't afford to go to the doctor's just yet. Please help. Thanks
