Lower right abdominal pain

[flobajo]

for about a month now I have been having this Cramping dull like pain on my Lower right side of the abdomen...I also feel a dull pain on the upper right side as well just under the rib cage...I have not noticed any blood in bowels...the pain is intermittent especially on the Lower right side and it is more of a slight dull ache that stays for about 20 - 30 mins then dissapears.

I have gone to see My GP who did a physical examination of my abdominal area but he was quite dismissive as to anything sinister going on...I have my blood tests in 2 days time and will see my GP there after.......but does anyone know of possible ailments these symptoms might relate to

about 8 years ago I had my appendix removed so I know it cannot be appendicitis.

am not even sure if the pain from the upper right side is related to that in the lower right side of the abdomen...

I have no other symptoms except for these...no Blood in bowels.... Diarrhea or constipation I do tend to have the occassional shoulder pain but I put that down to the akward way I slept....and more than often that dissapears

quite scared...please help

How did you make out? I have the same exact thing. Getting an ultrasound tomorrow

It could be gas or reffered pain. The intestines have a comunication problem and dont always get the right signals from the brain. I would try to relax until the bloodwork comes back. Often you SED or WBC will be elevated if there is something like IBD going on.
