How can severe stomach cramps while having hernias be treated?

Jam in terrible pain from stomach cramps.It has been 3 days of this nightmare.My gastroenterologist sad to go to the emergency,but I cannot Waite for hours in there to be seen. I already have had a CT scan that shows hernias. Can you tell what should I do or help me? Thank you

<start> Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor Service. I reviewed your query and here is my answer.Your ct scan showed hernias, is it intra-abdominal and what sort of hernia is it? Does it contain mesentry or bowels? If you had pain, then it means that your hernia may have strangulated which cause severe pain. Besides gastroenterologist, you need to consult with a surgeon as well. Because if it is strangulated, then you need to be operated as soon as possible. Hope i answered your query, ask more if u need further assistance. Thanks.Regards.Dr imran zeb.G.P <end>

How can extreme abdominal pain after a surgery be treated?

My husband has suffering intermittently with extreme abdominal pain since February 2017 when he was taken to the emergency room while on vacation in another country, at which time they thought they saw something on the CT scan in the small intestine, did surgery but found that everything started to flow when wiggling the intestine. So, they closed him up, stated he may have Chrones disease and suggested he see his regular doctor or an internist upon returning home. He did so, had another CT scan and a colonoscopy, but nothing was found. He has dropped from 165 pounds to 138 pounds since. The pain is very severe and seems rather unpredictable, but it does seem to be triggered by either over-eating or anxiety. We really need advise please. Thank you!

<start> Hello, * There must be substantial amount of reason for this agonizing pain and the precise diagnosis is pivotal part of the case. * Either inflammatory bowel disease, intestine ischemia syndrome or other malfunctions of the GIT may be playing significant role in this regard. * If the conventional molecules as morphine or Tramadol are not able to handle the pain, epidural analgesia is a very good promising act of pain control till one reaches at the root cause.

Should I go to the ER for severe cramps in the lower abdomen after food poisoning?

Hi, I’ve had food poisoning with severe stomach cramps and vomiting, through the last 18 hours. Although the vomiting has nearly ceased, the cramp is quite sharp in the lower right abdomen and feels like it radiates to the testicles (right testicle).Should I try and sleep another night or visit my local urgent care centre?

<start> Hi, Noted the history about food poisoning with vomiting that has nearly ceased but there are cramps in the right lower abdomen continues with referred pain to the right testicle. This indicates that food poisoning is causing inflammation of the intestines and you need a proper clinical evaluation and examination of vitals and abdomen. Food poisoning usually has no relation to the pain in the right testicle hence the cause of the pain should also be found out. This can be due to severe vomiting causing testicular torsion due to muscular contraction of the lower abdominal muscles causing twisting of the cremaster muscles going into the scrotum that suspends testicle. The torsion can cause such a pain and needs urgent color Doppler examination if the testis needs to be saves. Early diagnosis is a must. Hence I would advise you to go to ER and get proper evaluation and relevant investigations for proper management. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. <end>

What causes upper abdominal pain?

Hi. 3 weeks ago it all started with an acute pain on my right side. By the next morning it had spread across lower abdomen and groin area so bad I could not sit or stand.

Now the fevers have gone and I no longer have lower abdominal pain however, it has moved to my upper abdomen. Sharp, burning pain especially after eating something.

What causes abdominal pain on the left side?

Hello,I'm experiencing a very sharp pain on the left side of my abdomen. It started this morning when I sneezed. It felt like a knife going through my abdomen. It was like an explosion of pain! I felt ok afterward until 45 min ago when I lifted my 4-year-old daughter. Especially when I was putting her down, I felt that explosion again. I can now still feel the pain. It's sharp.

What causes sudden abdominal pain at night?

Hi. Last night I woke up in the night with abdominal pain...I got up to use the bathroom. When I sat on the toilet my heart started pounding really hard and I felt like my head was going to explode, my face felt hot and I had a painful fiery-burning sensation in the palms of my hands. My lips felt thick and numb. This lasted about a minute or two. Then I had more intestinal pain and passed a small amount of diarrhea. Then my heart slowly stopped pounding and the pain and numbness subsided. What would cause this? The same thing happened to me once, about 6 years ago. Very scary.
