I've had the pain in my back, then it went away, now I feel it's in my stomach going down, I assume it will pass soon....but how long will it last??? Help.

It just depends from person to person.  I had a stone 2 weeks ago, and it took me 10 days to pass the stone from the time the pain started in my back.  All I can recommend is drink lots of water and cranberry juice.   If the pain gets to be too bad, go to the doctor and get some pain medicine, but if you can handle the pain, take 800 mg of ibuprofen (advil).  The advil will help keep the pain down.  \n\nI know what you're going through.  If you have more questions concerning your stones, email me.  I'll answer them if I can.  (email address is on my profile!)

Hi Black,   Sweety it doesn't sound very good. One thing i would do, is sue the hell out of your doctor. You have been and still are having pain. Your doctor said, there's nothing wrong with you. You have a big law suit here. Let's hope things wrong out for you and they don't find to much wrong. A Friend.\n\n  Clowmy

You poor woman! What is this world coming to?!If I were you, I'd call in EVERY DAY to see if there's been a cancellation with your Dr. OR, I'd get another DR! Hon, your predicament IS an emergency. This is very serious. You need to see the DR. pronto, so you may have some assistance.In the meantime, use hot compresses over pain; front and back and /or hot bathes.Geez, good luck

I would think common sense would tell you if it hurts that bad, then you need to stay off of it...especially if it's been three months and it STILL hurts.\n\nSee a doctor, if you haven't already.

I just had the surgery a month ago and it took about two weeks and and half to go down.  But my stomach has not been right since then.  A friend of mine had the same thing and it took her a month for the swelling to go down.

It will take a few more days,  take Tylenol. Do not touch it.  Use is to numb the pain in that area.

Check in with the doctor first to make sure you haven't worn down the tissue too much. It's probably just a stress injury, but those are some of the most annoying ones. Probably the reason the pain subsides is it goes into a numb-like state, or you just stop noticing because you're in the zone. If this has been bothering you for awhile take at least two weeks off. If you can't do that, then maybe cut back on your mileage to a minimum. Then at least you aren't breaking the habit.

Take this from someone who's been there.  Get that gallbladder taken OUT.  Now!!!  Your pain will not go away.  The attacks will start to happen more frequently and last longer.  Get it taken out ASAP, they will probably be able to do this laparascopically.  Piece of cake.

Nobody suspects Sciatic Nerve?  Do some research online for that and see if that doesnt match your symptoms.  What you desribe sounds exactly like it to me.  I have trouble with mine from time to time, and the only relief I get is from a minimum of 800 milligrams of Ibuprofen.  Last time took me 3 weeks to be completely pain and numbness free.

If you are lucky you'll pass it if not and you get cramps, pain or fever  go to ER.  I'd call the ER and ask. They've seen it all. Good luck.

Maybe you're "backed up". I'm not poking fun at it, I'm being serious. One of my exes had the same problem (going by your short description) and that was the problem. Doctors said nothing was wrong. It took a trip to the hospital -voluntarily- to find it out. She was in pain for a month and half, if I remember correctly. But, they took an x-ray and found out she was indeed, "backed up". The best way to find out is to go to a professional or specialist and ask. Specialist would be better because they focus on one part of the body and not the whole body which regular doctors guess way off than specialists. I'd say take laxatives or something as a suggestion but this is medical advice and can't really give you that since I'm not a doctor.

It sounds like middleschmirtz. You can look it up on the web (yea, that is really the name). It is painful ovulation. Starts about two weeks or so after your last period began. It can cause mild to severe cramping feeling and lower back pain. (You would think we suffer enoung with the rest of the whole female cycle! Geesh!)\n\nLook in to it. That may be what is going on. \nAnother that I can think of is ovarian cysts. That can cause quite a bit of pain and discomfort too.\n\nEither way, if it continues, probably would be a good idea to see your OBGYN

I just had a gallbladder attack on June 6, 2006 and the pain was unbearable. The pain went from in between my ribs around to my back in between my shoulders. I have to have mine out tomorrow. If your friend thinks that is what it is then she needs to get to the ER because it could kill her if it is bad enough.

I honestly didn't think it hurt too badly, but everybody has a different tolerance level for pain.  After a few minutes, the pain will get better because the area will go numb and you'll be used to the sensation.  Good luck!
