Lower right side intermittent abdominal pain with muscle soreness, So frustrated, please help!!!?

Q: Hi, Im 18 and Female. For over 2 years now I have been suffering from attacks of lower right side abdominal pain. I have had appendicitis already and had that removed. Every time I get the pain it stars with the muscles in my body feeling like they are bruised all over, mostly in my upper arms and upper legs, I also become quite weak and find it difficult to lift simple things like a full orange juice carton. I am under weight but eat well and love food, I do not know if my weight is a symptom connected with my pain or just my natural build, I am also naturally weak muscle wise but become weaker when I have an attack of the pain and soreness. The muscle soreness continues and next it is accompanied by a dull heavy ache in my lower right abdomen. I sometimes feel nauseous with it as well. The pain and muscle soreness can last anywhere between a day to just over 2 weeks and happens randomly. I have been to the doctors again and again and im starting to get very frustrated because I dont feel it is being taken seriously when it causes me a lot of discomfort however there has still been a lot of investigation into it which I am thankful for. I have had many ultra sounds showing nothing, on physical examination when getting the pain doctors said now hard mass can be found however my muscles are tensed up around the area and twitch, it also hurts when the press on the back and front of the area of pain. I had a severe kidney infection when I was 7 which left me in hospital and I was told to be lucky to have no apparent kidney damage, I have been tested for kidney infections every time I get the pain sometimes they come back positive sometimes negative so I sometimes have antibiotics sometimes not and occasionally they help other times they do not :S on having blood tests abnormal amounts of urate have been found in the blood sometimes and other times not. However on almost every urine test protein, blood etc have been found, when I have the pain, but not usually the one which indicates an infection. When I am not suffering an attack I am well and mostly healthy other than being underweight an having little natural muscle. Please if anyone has had similar experiences and knows of what this could be id really love to hear from you!! I am so frustrated and just want an answer because the pain can get so painful when it peaks and im fed up! Thank you!

What can white spots on a kidney in an ultrasound indicate?

Q: I’m 15 years old and relatively healthy, but for almost a year now, I’ve been experiencing severe abdominal pain. I’ve seen several doctors and have been treated for several conditions including: lactose intolerance, IBS, acid reflex, stress induced GI tract problems, diabetes, and more. My current gastroenterologist also thinks I have IBS, which I’ve been treated for before with over the counter drugs and no success. Now I’m on a low dosage of anti-depressants to relax my intestines more. So far, the pills have not worked significantly. The next step is a colonoscopy. I’ve already gotten an ultrasound, and I have a major concern. There was a white spot on my kidney, which could be a kidney stone but the radiologist said that there is usually a distinct shadowing around a kidney stone, which was not present in the image. However, they brushed it off as a normal “fatty deposit”. This upset me because the pain is usually 90% of the time in the area of my right kidney, the lower right side of my back. The radiologist had me sit up and cough several times to make the urine run from the kidney to the bladder. The left kidney functioned properly right away. However, the right kidney took several attempts to finally work. This concerns me a lot, but the doctors still don’t know what’s wrong with me. Can anyone help?

A: my aunt had a kidney infection,same symptoms,so she had to get half her kidney removed,that might be your problem.

What could cause this?

Q: I’m 16 years old slightly obese and for a while i’ve been having type 5 or 6 (usually 5) stools as indicated from this chart: http://www.opaco.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/bristol_stool_chart.jpg and as of late, i have also been having abdominal pain. nothing severe just a subtle dull pain about halfway up my abdomen w/ slight pain on the lower left and right side. should i be concerned?

A: Yes, you should be concerned. I would see someone about it as soon as you can. Abdominal pain that lasts for more than three days is usually a sign of infection or injury.
