It's amazing you ask this question. I had the exact same symtoms a week ago. I went to the emergency room and you wouldn't beleive what I was told.  I'm almost 40 years old and it took some getting me to go to the hospital.  I was told I had an appendicitus.  I had emergency surgery done immediately.  The fever is important because it's a warning that you have an infection in your body.  I suggest you go to the nearest emergency room.  If I didn't go I could be dead today because when the appendex burst it poisons your system and there is no cure for that. I was blessed to get there on time so don't think just go and be sure you are o.k.  Good Luck!!

That's exactly what my gall bladder attack felt like.  I went to the ER and was told I had a kidney stone.  They sent me home and 4 days later when I was still hurting, I asked my husband to rub my back.  When he started mashing on the right side of my back, the pain immediately moved to the front and I was doubled over in pain. I went back to the ER and found out they were going to have to remove my gall bladder laproscopically.  However, because I went so long without treatment, it turns out they had to do open gall bladder surgery.  You didn't say, is the pain more on your right side?  If so, its a big possibility that it is your gall bladder.  I know from experience that the doctors can misdiagnose the problem at first.  If you are still hurting, go back and have them check it. You want to catch it before it becomes too infected and inflamed. Open gall bladder surgery is very painful and you'll want to aviod it if possible.\n\nHope that was of some help to you.   Good Luck and take care!

Yes, gallbladder pain can radiate.  It can feel like back pain or even stomach cramps, and can make you feel short of breath (called Murphy's sign).  And if you get a colon cleanse with an inflammed/infected gallbladder, like the first guy said, it could rupture and you may die a slow and horrible death of peritonitis.  Have you had an ultrasound of the actual gallbladder?  This can bother you even when you are not eating, and intermittant pain can be a sign of passing the gall stones.  I have done this a few times and it was the worst pain I ever felt in my life, even worse than child birth.  There are the five F's risk factors of gallbladder disease:  Female, Fat, Fertile, Family history, and over Forty.  If you have more than three, you should get rechecked, especailly if you have had a baby recently (that IS IF you are a female).

It could be a lot of different things so I wouldn't begin to speculate. This may not have anything to do with your stomach.\nWhat you need to do is go to your doctor and describe to him or her where the pain is located, what type of pain it is, (sharp, raditating, etc.) if the pain is happening all the time or only after certain activities and whatever else the doctor may ask you.\n\nI'm not trying to scare you, but I'd suggest you make an appointment right away.

Problems with the organs in the abdominal region i.e. the digestive system, liver, gall bladder,pancreas, appendix and kidney could be the main reasons for a bad stomach ache. Gastroenteritis can give you a severe stomach ache, while stomach pain from cancer may only be mild. I found a lot of great information on causes of stomach pain and its treatment at http://tinyurl.com/l9k9x

It could really be anything....lower back strain, kidney trouble, unrinary tract infection, or pelvic inflammatory disease. Do you have pain passing urine, or are running a temperature? The urine frequency......is it accompanied by foul frothy urine and pain? The bowel movement frequency and gas may be related to a lumbar injury, an infection, or simply because you've eaten something that causes it like curry or cabbage.\nIn any case, it'll be advisable for you to have it checked out properly by your doctor.

Sounds like gall stones. Lay off spicy and fatty foods and it will limit the attacks until you can have surgery to have the gall bladder removed (insist on laproscopic surgery as you'll be out of the hospital the same day and back to work within the week). When having an attack, I find if you can induce a state of near-hypothermia (you need the muscles to spasm in a shiver) that you can work loose gall stones blocking bile ducts (the pressure is why you feel pain). Also the most comfortable way to rest sitting in a chair backwards leaning forward slightly. I slept like that many a night before having my surgery done and it helped loads.\n\nGood luck.

Is it a sharp pain? Is it roughly a few hours after eating? Could be some kind of digestion problem. Being that they were treating you for a peptic ulcer makes me believe that they were looking at digestion too. \n\nA simple measure you could try, and I have done myself with some success, is change a small portion of your diet to see if you can isolate a problem there.\n\nFor instance, for about a week try cutting out gaseous food items like broccoli, milk, onions, cauliflower, eggs and large amounts of any dairy products like yogurt and cheese. See if things improve. \n\nIf they don't, put those items back into your diet and for a week try removing heavy items like beef, large amounts of bread, pasta, nuts, and stick to lighter meats like chicken and fish along with light salads.\n\nLastly, I would try cutting out any spicy food altogether during these different diet tests. Spicy foods are not necessary for good health and that would be one less variable you would have to worry about.\n\nTry to mix and match some of the items you eat and leave out others. Usually a week is enough time to determine if their is an improvement. \n\nI quickly found out that even though I didn't know what was causing my pain, I had an idea that it was indigestion related and cutting out the milk/onions did wonders for my abdominal pain.\n\nSide note, I am not a medical doctor and my advice should not be taken strictly as a cure. Also, do not stray too far from what I have outlined here and make sure all changes are ok with your physician.\n\nGood luck!

You will get a pain in your naval (belly button) and then it will go to your lower right side.  You will most likely have a high fever and vomiting.  If you have all 3 of these together, get to an emergency room FAST!!!!!!!!!!!  If that thing bursts, you are in a LOT of danger.

You need to be more specific about your symptoms.\n\nWhere in your abdomen is the pain? Upper, lower, middle, right, left, center? Is it a radiating pain, or a constant, unchanging one?  Are you vomiting?  How does your head feel?  Fever?  Are there pains anywhere else, like your back or rectum area?\n\n\nCould be appendicitis, gallbladder attack, pancreatitis, or other things.  For any of the above three, you must go to hospital asap.  Appendicitis and pancreatitis can be and are deadly sometimes.

sorry to hear about your problem. it could be very minor or more serious. for example, eating quickly and swallowing air can cause distention and "gas." which is painful after eating. emotional stress can also cause pain after eating or throughout the day. certain food allergies like lactose intolerance can cause bloating and abd pain after eating as well.   on the other hand, gallbladder and pancreatic problems can do the same thing and are more serious. an internist should be able to start the workup with an exam and a few simple tests. you may be referred to a gastroenterologist (a specialist in the GI tract). either way, you should see a doctor. good luck and feel better,
