What do you think this is?

Here are the symptoms:


- abdominal pain (mainly discomfort)


- A diagnosis (that is now gone) of constipation


- Extreme fatigue


- Bloated


- Loss of appetite


- Unusual weight gain


- Legs tend to be very weak


- Dull and achy pain


- On sides below ribs


- Stomach area


- pelvic


- both sides and middle


- high theigh


- Lower back


-Tender to touch


- stomach + pelvic area


- Low grade fever - off and on





My blood tests came back fine. X-Ray's showed that the constipation was gone but I still have the pain. Fever tends to go away for two days at the most, then come back. It hurts to go to the bathroom (straining makes it worse) (the pain is a feeling of fullness and pressure/dull and achy). I'm 13 and female. Ovarian Cancer/Cysts run in the family, Breast Cancer runs in the family (grandmother died from it), and I was born without 1 artery in the umbilical cord. They said I would have rectal problems (maybe) from that at this age. What do you suspect this is?

What do you think this is?
We have to consider a number of things:-





Pancreatitis


Ectopic pregnancy (if you are sexually active)


Pyelonephritis (infection of kidneys)


Cholecystitis (inflammation of gall-bladder)


Sub-clinical renal calculus - a small stone in your ureter (tube connecting kidney to bladder) but this would usually cause much worse pain and more acutely.





Etc etc etc.





You should persuade your doctor to arrange further tests (have you had abdo X-ray?, scan, urine tests, etc.).





Very unlikely to be cancer at 13, but must exclude it.





I hope this helps. Seek specialist advice.
