For three months now, I have had a pain in my lower right side just above my appendics. Sometimes it feels like it is lower, sometimes it feels like it around my rib cage area, but for the most part, it's just to the right of my belly button. I've also had strange rashes on my chest, and been pretty itchy in many areas including the embarassing ones.
I have had so many tests trying to figure out what's going on:
- 2 CT Scans ofmy abdomen with contrast - on one they felt a couple lymph nodes may have been slighty large, but otherwise normal
- Chest xray - normal
- CBC - normal
- Parasites - normal
- Blood in stool test came back positive BUT I had a medium rare steak the night before so I have to retake it
- Temperature, blood pressure, EVERYTHING is normal except this pain, the rashes, and itching.
The pain is pretty much constant and I can't discern if anything makes it worse such as food. I'm getting more and more scared especially now that the pain has started to spread to my left side as well. I want to be better educated when I talk to my doctor next. I have another appointment with my doctor in a week. I'm just curious what I should be asking him about. Are there any tests I should demand?
Thank you so much!!!!
