Lower abdominal discomfort

Posted , 4 users are following.

Hi. This is a tricky one to explain so I’ll try the best I can.

For the past week, I’ve been having abdominal discomfort from around the appendix area up to my rib cage on my right hand side. It’s not ‘pain’ but it’s very noticeable. I can only describe it as a ‘stitch’ like pain or a cramp. My whole right side feels inflamed. If I run my fingers up and down my right side, I can feel very pronounced ‘ridges’ under my skin all over. It is making me feel a little nauseous. I’m keeping a constant eye on my SATS and my temperature and they are both fine. I’ve noticed while at work that I’m getting hot more quickly than usual. I’m sleeping absolutely fine and doing things as normal but I just know something is not right. I’ve a history of urinary tract infections and digestive problems but this is something I’ve not felt before. I was wondering if I’d pulled my side or my obliques but why would I feel sick? Has anyone else suffered similar? I hope someone can help as this is really worrying me. Thanks.
