What could intermittent lower abdomen pain suggest?
Patient: Hello, I ve been having a burning sharp pain in mid/lower abdomen on the right side for about 2 1/2 months. I have been through physical therapy the last 3 months for lower right back pain and muscle tightness. The abdomen pain doesn t seem to be related to food/ eating. It comes and go. I ve been noticing that at times it comes when I am in the car and reaching to the right to get something behind my seat. Other times, it just occurs for no particular reason. I ve had an abdomenal ultrasound which was normal. Please help!!! Doctor: hi welcome to hcm..It could be just a muscular pain if your ultrasound is normal..repeat your ultrasound abdomen after 2weeks to rule out any interval appendicitis..drugs like buscopan will be helpful..use an antibiotic course and antacids to treat underlying infection if any..consult your doctor for further queries.thankyou
