within the past three weeks i have been having lower back pain too.
the pain isnt terrible because its sharp and theres intervals between the pains when there is no pain at all! it cant be cramps coz i just had my period
Answers:
Pain in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen is a real challenge for physicians, especially surgeons and gynecologists, as many problems can exist there. The first diagnosis that comes to mind is that of appendicitis, yet it is not the most common cause of right lower quadrant pain. Constipation probably leads the list. In children, mesenteric adenitis (swollen lymph glands) can mimic appendicitis. Kidney stones, tumors, diverticulitis of the colon and inguinal hernias can cause pain in this area. In women, endometriosis, ovarian cysts and tumors, twisted fibroids, ectopic pregnancies and infections in the fallopian tubes add to the challenge of a diagnosis. (Now you can appreciate your physician's dilemma in making the correct diagnosis.)
And since there's no way to diagnose this online, better make an appointment with your doctor.
