@lauryn1011133 I'm no doctor, so don't garauntee that i am right, but it might be viral, which means that medicine can't cure it. I think you might want to keep going to the Er

i have had abdominal pain for 2 years now. I am in constant pain and have been on homebound because i am always sick and in pain, i have been to TONS of doctors, i have been to the ER, gastranologest and i have had TONS of test and blood work, but, they still cant find out what is wrong with me.

I've been having strong pains (below my navel) which are much worse at night. I was given an ultrasound scan to check for poly-cystic ovaries (a couple of months ago) but it was inconclusive, so we don't know if that's the cause. I know it's not appendicitis, because I've had my appendix removed. I have IBS as well, but this kind of pain feels different. I don't know what else I can do about it. =o[

i cannot pass gas, my belly is bit swollen, and there's lots of bubble in my belly all the time, in the morning around 4 i wake up with pain with the need to go to toilet, since the last three months, is it appendicitis?

[noiretbeau]

Question..can appendicitis be cured naturally?
