    I get you. I get a pain in very low right pelvic area with low back pain and sometimes pulling in the upper front thigh. Blood tests came back ok as did stool test and colonoscopy but the ache is there. Gynae said all ok from that part but he didn't do ultrasound cos he thinks I don't need it. Maybe it's a muscle? Or ibs ? Dr said it could be scar tissue from appendix as the pain is around the same area although lower. So confused and annoyed

    I've been dealing with the same issues. I have IBS from what they say.. Abnormal bowels that come and go due to depression/anxiety but I get weird pain everywhere . Right now I've been getting pain in ovary area and ab. Pain right above belly button towards the left and pain under my ribs mostly left. I'm so tired of this everyday . I've had bloodwork... Stool tests... Chest X-ray and ekgs due to bad chest pain . I'm suppose to see a GP but not til June. Idk for its stress or if I'm just thinking too much but either way... Continue to see dr and push for more tests for peice of mind. And just know you're not alone

      My periods have been heavier with clothing so wonder if it's coming from there. I also think my bikini line looks swollen but I have put on weight (I'm quite slim but went up from 56 to 59 kilos) so don't know if it's that. 2 Drs have tested that area and didn't say anything is abnormal, actually both said no swollen lymph nodes. Sometimes I wonder if it's from my ovaries but I do suffer from anxiety so everything is always looking strange to me.

      I was getting mucous too but I haven't lately! No blood either just either loose or constipation! At one point I was so stressed and constipated and kept worrying about it that it got worse! Once I saw dr and they did my stool test I told myself ok! Calm down and try not to stress! And sure enough as my stress went down it went away! The ER dr told me you don't have to go every day. Even every other day or two days is ok! So my advice to you is try not to stress and trust me I'm the same way as you guys but we are here to help each other with positive vibes and help with as much info as we can. Your mind especially with anxiety can play so many tricks on you .. If u have health anxiety it's even worse. And add stress forget it it's like your a bomb waiting to explode lol.. I get pain where my kidneys are at too and it hurts... Belly area.. Left ribs ... Chest (heart) area... Sharp pains in back of eyes and head... Sometimes I fee like someone's sitting on my chest and I can't breathe... Tingling on legs and hands.. I mean I can go on and on but it's stress ... I have an appt with my gyno next Tuesday and GP in June so we will see but it's so hard cause we think the worst and that's our problem! The advice I can also give is do not Google ....... It is only gonna make u worse trust me.... Anyhow.. Hope this helps ....

      As an aside, Ella, it may be worth checking your blood heamoglobin and body iron stores (serum ferritin) if your periods have been heavier and continue to be. Anaemia / low iron stores can be a cause of fatigue, shortness of breath, lightheadedness when standing up from seated position.

      I hate that I feel the same way! It's like we are feeling this pain but sometimes it's our brain... We feel all this pain and once a certain test comes back the pain goes away... But it's hard to find a good dr these days
