What Causes Pain In Lower Abdomen?

I am 20 y/o, 5 foot 4 and weigh about 110 lbs. I have been diabetic since age 1, and have had asthma. I struggled with my diabetes in high school and stopped having my period over 5 years ago. ive had ultrasounds that have showed nothing. however over the past several months i have been having a tight, intense pain in my lower right abdomen/pelvic area. it shoots down my leg and makes my foot tingle. sometimes my back hurts as well. its much worse when i lay down

Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

The site of pain indicates the location of an chronically inflammed appendix or of the pelvic adnexa and also could be due to a asymptomatic UTI which has not been detected. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a routine/mircoscopic and culture sensitivity test of your urine and treat it if positive. I would not hesitate to advise you for a CT scan of your abdomen as the ultrasound has not shown any pathology. Further management would depend on the investigation reports apart from the treatment to keep your blood sugar level normal.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
