Having Lower Ab Pain

My husband has something very similar to that and he was diagnosed with pluersitis and now takes a prescription of meloxicon which is an anti-flammatory. Pluersitis was described to us as such: The tissue that lines the lungs and ribs becomes filled with fluid and that leads to an infection. My husband had x-rays done of his entire chest- make sure the doctor does that before dismissing your fathers pain. I know my husband was in extreme pain- mainly at night, and this sounds all to familiar. Hope this helps.

Sounds silly but it sounds like gas! Gas-X works great! Maybe that's why the Drs didn't find anything. Have him try the medicine and see how he feels. Good Luck!

I had the same problem when I threw out my back 2 yrs ago. They sent me for MRI's CAT's the whole nine yards and nothing was working. I went to my mom's chiropractor and he took an x-ray and told me the problem. It turned out that I have scoliosis and it's so advanced that my bottom disc is too thin and my sciatic nerve running down my right leg keeps getting pinched. After a few visits to the chiropractor I felt much better. I hope every thing is ok and ya'll are in my prayers.

Its weird to say but does he have gas really bad?? I am young but I get it from time to time just depends on what I eat. and when I climb my stairs it seems to help me to burp or when I drink a little soda... get him to try some tums or something for gas.. I have had those same symptoms

Hi V......Has he been checked for gallstones? When I had my attacks, it was hard to breathe and awful pain.

It wouldn't be a pinched nerve if the pain is starting in his front. It could be anything from simply bad gas to his appendix. Sorry if what I say seems gross but I'm looking at this from a medical aspect (I used to work in a hospital). When was the last time he took a good number 2? If it's been a while he might want to consider sever gas or constipation. If this is the case, then tell him to drink plenty of water and he might want to increase his fiber intake. Or take a natural stool softener that you can get at Walmart. You didn't say what kind of test they ran but they should have ran a urine sample for kidney and bladder infection and a blood test for his appendix. And an ultra sound would look for gall stones and kidney stones. If all of this comes up with nothing then he might want to get his prostate checked since that is also located near the bladder.

I would definitely have him go back to his Dr since the pain is making it hard for him to breath and he is doubling over if it isn't a BM issue.

Good luck to both of you!!
