What causes pain in abdomen while driving?
Patient: Left abdominal pain that gets aggrivated when driving, sometimes when very active or during sex. I have discussed this with physicians off and on for 2 years. Had an ultrasound recently: no findings. Colonscopy last year unearthed 3 polyps (removed). Pain still exists. Recenty painful when I press on this area. Doctors write letters: see you soon. Your in good health. Frustrating. Was hoping it was a hernai but ultrasound came back negative. In menopause but zero to no symptoms. Was told 2 years ago that ovary is very shrunk on left side. Any suggestions? Doctor: Hi.Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.You are menopausal without any symptoms related to it - getting pain in the left side of the abdomen- aggravated by driving, in activity or during sex - normal ultrasonography - 3 colonic polyps removed but pain still persists - pain on pressure. All these history is suggestive that you have colitis and more probably of a IBS type hence the reports are normal.The inflammation causes the pain as the body moves. The shrunken ovary has nothing to do with the type of pain you have. Get antispasmodic with an anti-anxiety pills regularly and you may be fine. '
