stomach hardness/spasm after acute abdominal pain

by KatRen, May 16, 2008 12:40AM
ok. here goes.... it starts with sharp pains in my abdomen, usually on one side or in the middle. (not associated with eating)  After the pain eases or goes away, then it feels like my stomach is in a hard knot.  sometimes I can't even stand up straight.  and my stomach/abdomen is tender and sore.  The hard knot feeling can last a couple days after the initial pain attack.  It almost feels like constipation, but after using milk of mag and using the toilet, the hard/sore feeling in my stomach continues. if it was constipation wouldn't I feel better after using the toilet?and wouldn't the pain be lower, like in my abdomen?  also, years ago I had these attacks but much more severe.. it ended up being a large endometrial mass they removed with an ovary.  It feels like that again only not as severe, but I just had an ablation done last month, can I still get endometriosis?  I can't figure out what would cause the stomach hardness/soreness.  any ideas??
