Thread: pelvic pain for over 2 years

Hello,

I am 19 years old and I have been having pelvic pain on my right side on and off for over 2 years now. It started with bloating and sharp pains alternating with dull pains for about a month. I went to the hospital, thinking it might be appendicitis, and they said there was nothing wrong after doing an ultrasound, When that went away for a few months, it came back but was more dull pain for a month or two at a time, without the severe bloating. Anyway, I've had 3 ultrasounds and the doctors have all said there is nothing wrong. But I can't help but think that if I've had this same pain for this long, there might be something wrong. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Thanks

Have they ever tested you for a bladder infection or a Urinary Tract Infection? Sometimes that can give you a dull backache or on the sides. If they did an ultra sound, I would assume that would rule out kidney stones. If they haven't tested you for this, I would ask them to, just to make sure, because if it goes untreated for a long time it could develop into a kidney infection, which is very dangerous.
