Suggest Treatment For Severe Pelvic And Abdominal Pain

I have severe pelvic pain , lower abdominal pain , no infection , CT scan revealed nothing any ideas? I am a 58 yr. old female who has had a complete hysterectomy. I recently had a myocardial perfusion scan and experienced similar pain during this test , the same type during my CT. I also felt like my ribcage was being crushed . I have had several health issues in the last 15 or so years , seen numerous doctors and still have few answers.

HI.
Thanks for your query and a classical history of severe pelvic pain and lower abdominal pain, which was felt in a similar way when you went through CT scan and myocardial perfusion scan.
This indicates that you are allergic to iodine in the food, in the contrast injections that are given during these scans.

I would advise you to stop taking all the foods and beverages that contain more iodine and you will be fine.
Also take a short course of oral steroids and antihistamine to ward off the attack of pain in the lower abdomen and the pelvis.
