Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Hey Joe, A few quick things come to mind. I'd palpate for hepatomegaly and tenderness. Does the activity related pain happen when winded, like a " stitch " in the side? Question re: stool color to help uncover any biliary issues. Consider, liver enzyme function tests and follow up with silymarin and EtOH reduction. Can you reproduce the pain in the office? Note new address! W.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I wrote to this group a few months ago about my abdominal pain. I have since figured out that my pain is caused by sitting down. It is quite bizzare. I spend most of the day sitting down in front of a computer (not much else to do when you have CFS and have no energy to move). I realized that every night when I lie down to go to sleep I start hearing these loud gurgling sounds coming from my abdomen and I feel my intestines moving. With each wave of peristalsis (intestinal movement) I could feel the pain slowly going away. After about 30 to 45 minutes, the pain was gone. This same pattern repeats itself every day....pain during the day when I am sitting and gradual relief when I lie down. Standing up does not help so much. Has anybody experienced something like this? Even the gastroenterologists seem to find it weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 My pain is definitely tied to my bowels is some way. If I'm not stretching during the day and getting my IBS under control then my back, hips and legs hurt a lot. And obviously if the IBS isn't isn't controlled then my gut hurts as well.
