Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my mother has been experiencing severe tightness in her abdomen - says it feels like a band and casues extreme pain. Only relief is when she lays down. We have had CAT scans, ultra sounds and MRI s which show nothing, she had breast cancer but biopsy done and showed negative. Thoughts.
Based on the history you have shared, if CAT is normal, on local examination cutaneous nerve issues should be ruled out. Also abdominal gut related spasmodic pains should also be differentiated. If so OTC analgesics like acetaminophen or Ibuprofen along with anti-spasmodic like Drotavarine can be helpful.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
