911 - DeLarla goes to the Emergency Room

I've had horrible pains in my lower right abdomen. It started as a light pinch a few weeks ago, but yesterday the pain was becoming unbearable. The kind of pain that takes your breath away. I made an OBGYN appointment for next week, but yesterday my friends freaked me out thinking it could be an ovarian cyst, an eptopic pregnancy or a gallbladder attack. The more I fretted, the worse the pain got.

I ran to Urgent Care and had a pelvic exam. Diagnosis = GAS.

What a dork. I had a glass of wine and farted so I'm fine now. Thought you'd all enjoy a good laugh.

Jokes aside, Lisa, you did the right thing! Any pain that takes your breath away should get medical attention! Too many people presume they have gas and ignore ovarian cysts, eroded bands etc - I know it turned out well, and probably cost you loads but YOU DID THE RIGHT THING!!!!! Well done xxx

I'm glad I went now. I guess the pain was getting worse because I became increasingly more anxious and probably more tense with all the worrying, which probably just made the pain worse. It's weird that I could barely move yesterday yet today I can barely feel it. I'm pretty sure we are all just a bunch of cross-bred aliens. Thanks for laughing along with me. Jamie, get some rest before you hurt yourself!

I think we always think the worse when something like that happens, and we get to the point that we get worse by being so upset. Sometimes the only thing that helps is to go get checked out, at least we feel lots better afterwards.

WHOOHOO Delarla & here I just thought we were having a little quake here in Michigan yesterday-Glad to find out it was just you ;0)

Now that the pain has passed ( so to speak) you'll know what to expect & will be able take something right away before it gets to painful.

Megan - you crack me up with the singing "your my sunshine" ILMAO- Too funny even though I do know it isn't at the time.

Delarla, since it is going through your girly region and it has been 2 weeks since your last cycle..could it be you are ovulating? You do ovulate 2 weeks after cycle and I have noiticed a huge increase in sharp pains in my girly region when I ovulate ever since surgery, it gets so bad I can not hardly stand up and Iam in tears. I have been abvle to feel my ovulation cycles much more clearer since I have lost weight..Mine does have that feeling like it could almost be gas but I know the feeling so well now and the timing is always 2 weeks after my cycle..so I have pin pointed it to ovulation..

Michelle, I was thinking ovulation, too, but I've felt it for a couple weeks now. The Urgent Care doc said that if it was a cyst, it should pass with my next cycle. I'm not sure I believe her gas theory, but I have a regular OBGYN appointment 3/7, which thank-you-for-reminding me that I now have to cancel since that will be right in the middle of my red blob!

LOL, what a coincedence except I did not go to the Emrg room I thought maybe I had some stomach infection that went to my intestines. My husband kept saying maybe you have to pass gas but oh no he could not be right. Very embarressed cause later that night he left our bed saying I was tooting to much and keeping him awake plus the aroma was something else.

LOL... USED to be a super student, what happened???

Hi Lisa,
