Question 3

I've been dealing with this horrible pain for a couple of hours now, it's in my lower abdomen on the side away from my appendix. It's really strange because when I'm lying down, it doesn't bother me, but walking is super painful and sitting up is just unbearable. What could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing an issue with your ovary, bowel, or urinary tract, possibly an ovarian cyst, infection, or even diverticulitis. Please see a doctor immediately for evaluation, as this pain requires urgent attention. Rest and avoid straining in the meantime.
