Re: Newbie....exactly WHERE is gallstone pain....................

November 21, 2005

I don't know my anatomy that well, especially male anatomy, but there is

also another kind of very severe abdominal pain that I have had on 2-3

occasions in my life. That pain was caused by my illeocecal (sp?) valve

becoming jammed. It happened twice while I was an adult. Once when I

was a kid, I had a similar pain and wonder if that was the first time.

It was in the middle of my abdomen and kind of on the right side, but

was defnitely not appendicitis. It can be caused by eating too much

rough food (such as popcorn) at one sitting, though in my case, at least

the last time, it was caused by eating too many stir-fried veggies that

were just the perfect degree of hardness/cookness. But I learned my

lesson that last time, and am more careful now. I think massaging in a

certain direction is supposed to help, but I can't remember which direction.
