I've got a quick question...I'm having severe abdominal pain, and didn't know what it could be. Due to medicine? It's like a knife that goes from my left hip to my heart sometimes it's dull most the time it's sharp? If it persists I'm going to go to the er.

Tyson, Severe abdominal pain while on Pred IS an emergency. DO NOT WAIT!!!!
You could have a bleed. Please go now. In fact, dial 911. EMT's are as equipped to help you before you get to the ER. I don't know what more I can say but go in NOW. Normal is not severe abdominal pain. Normal is no pain. Seriously, do you really think you can wait? No, deep down I doubt you think that. If you trust nothing else, please trust my experience with emergencies. I hope you can get some help. Annie There are other reasons like kidney stones, gas, diverticulosis/itis, etc. but any severe abdominal pain is cause for going to the ER. |

Just wanted to say that I hope you are okay. It's scary to have yet another new symptom. I'm sure your docs will take good care of you.

Annie- It stopped shortly after I posted. But had chest pains all night, and went away after sleeping..maybe I was just tired...but that doesnt happen to everyone. And on my BP cuff it has the ability to show irregular heartbeats..and ive had 3 readings with an irregular heartbeat. My internist says its fine. Should I change internists? I have one that will take much better care i think. Or pay more attetion...yet shes not in the duke system to it will be harder.
But it was the worst pain ive felt, almost as bad as my thymectomy. i dont understand. But its gone now. Im okay..just very tired, and my eye is continually droopy. Im considering getting off cellcept soon if it doesnt start working. The side affects are horrible. Hope you guys are alright. |
