excrusiating pain in the left ab near hip bone?im asking in behalf of my husband. he woke up yesterday morning out of a dead sleep in excrusiating pain. he was doubled over and even opted to go straight to the hospital (which is saying something. he's a big baby when it comes to the hospital. its like pulling teeth to get him to go)
he said the pain is in his left ab area right above his hip bone. the EMS workers tried to say that it was just a bruise, and the doctor tried to pass it off as a strain caused by sex. which if that was the case he would have been there 2 weeks ago instead.
the PA could even feel the inflames spot and they did CT scans on it which they said had NOTHING. that nothign was wrong with him. what ever. They had to shoot him up with Morphine because the pain was so bad.
but nothing is wrong. im calling bullshit on this right now.
can anyone give me any sources or sites of what this could be? because its been over 36 hours and the pain is still just as bad. and im worried its his appendix and if they don't do anything.....
they did a CT no xray, they drew blood and urine, the PA did some physical palpatations, where he pinpointed the area that is causing the pain, but other than that, they did nothing. My husband's left side is swollen even more today. i can feel it without pressing down.

Ugh. Sorry to hear of your husband's situation. First of all, did they do anything other than a CT scan? (And please talk to the next doc who wants to run another on him before he has more exposure to x-rays) Did they do blood work? Check his urine? He could have a kidney stone which was missed somehow. He could have a hernia, but I'd hope that would show up. If it's his appendix it's highly likely his white blood cell count would be quite high and he'd have pain after a doc presses down in the right lower abdomen. I hope you two both get answers soon, and please don't be afraid to seek another opinion. Even doctors make mistakes - trust your instincts! I wish you both well.
