Guest guest Posted September 21, 2002 Report Share Posted September 21, 2002 Betty, The only things I can think of are gall bladder or appendix maybe, although I don't remember the exact location of the pain for either. One thing I can tell you is that when I had problems with my GB & appendix, the pain each time was NOT where the doctors expected it to be. When I was laying in the ER in pain, they kept insisting that it couldn't be my appendix because the pain wasn't in the right place. I finally called my bariatric surgeon, who ordered a CT scan or something like that and immediately diagnosed it and got me into surgery. If you're having pain that severe, I would suggest going to the emergency room. It could be nothing, but it could also be something and you don't want to take chances with your health. ------------------------------------------------ Terry Mayers 5DollarHosting.comT http://www.5dollarhosting.com (877)-838-HOST / .... because it shouldn't cost a fortune to make a fortune! ® Now what's up? > Okay.... first I write everyone because of my short term weight gain and all else was the same....... > > I just got out of the shower... went to dry off and I had a horrendous pain shoot across my lower back!
