Why do I get stomach pain when standing for a long time?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 31 years old, 5 feet tall, and weigh 335 pounds. I have been getting lower right side abdominal pain for the past few months, and it usually starts after walking or standing for a long time. Today, the pain has gotten worse, and I also have lower back pain. I suffered from Crohn's disease and had a bowel resection seven years ago, but currently, I am in remission, and my Crohn's consultant does not think this problem is related.
I also have a problem with passing urine, as it takes me ages to go and have to strain or sometimes rock, and also will sometimes stop mid-flow and have to strain to continue. I am worried as the pain become worse this evening.
Kindly advise.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
Your history suggests the relationship between Crohn's disease and lower right abdominal pain. Gut resection causes this kind of symptom, as the overall function is compromised. A post-surgical follow-up visit to the surgeon would be helpful to see whether the urinary bladder or the ureters were involved. I will suggest you make a post-surgical follow-up with the surgeon and a gastroenterologist for Crohn's disease follow-up. Consult with an orthopedic doctor for osteoarthritis, calcium, and vitamin D supplements. Bone pains in osteoarthritis occur due to the condition itself and also due to calcium and vitamin D insufficiency. If you have any X-rays ofthe abdomen and neck you have, please send me.
I hope this helps you.
Thank you.
