tired of the pain

For over 1 year now I have had excessive stomach bloating, constipation, gas, lower back pain and almost clear urine. The dr.'s don't have any answers. A CT was just done with contrast and iodine iv, no significant results. A small stone was found near my kidney, but they don't seem to think much of it. I am doubled over in pain, have not had a bowel movement without laxative in months and even with the laxative only a small amount comes out. I am 49 years old and female. Had a hysterectomy at 35, no children. I cannot stand or walk for more than 10 minutes without having it feel like my stomach and lower back and pelvis are in a vice. Help!

When they did the hysterectomy, did they take both ovaries as well?

i've been punching walls not to hard maybe just like a tap  4 about a year and i did it because not because i have anger problems i just thought itll make my knuckle stronger, well i been noticing that my right middle knuckle had be getting bigger, so  i thought  its working then igot in to a fight  later on my right knuckle started to swel up it hurted  a little bit but not to much just when u presss it hard  then in about a week the swelling started going down but i noticed that my middle knuckle is even bigger! then i got scared. then one day i tried playing basket ball but every time tried to shoot my mid knukles  would hurt  like i cannt throw any thing. then 2 weeks later i went to my doctor they took an x-ray and nothing is broken or fractured  my doctor said something about its my "tendon" the tissue on top of my bones , it looks like my bone slid up or something but she says its not my bone. i ask hr is it going to go back to normal? she says itll take time but now its been a month or more it still hurs everytime i try to move my middle finger (knuckle).i triedputting ice and creams but nothings happening!! what should i do!??

hi, your symptoms do sound like you might have diverticulosis, if you dont want to undergo a colonoscopy, then i suggest you keep clear of seeds,nuts,spicey foods, try having gluten free bread and slightly cut down on dairy products, do this for two weeks to see if your symptoms improve, if they dont then i suggest you go through with the lower scope.

Hi.  Did the doctor mention that it could be IBS?  Since they were not able to find out anything else.
