Started having abdominal pain a couple days ago. It was sudden and severe. At first I was concerned for appendicitis but it subsided. Now it is just a dull ache when still but can be more painful when I walk, sit down or push my lower muscles. The area of pain seems to be central lower groin . I thought it was a bit more on the right slightly. I am 46, have had 2 children, I don t nomally have heavy cycles and am due to start today or tomorrow. I have never had cramping before with cycles. But am wondering if this could just be due to my cycle or a cyst . I have had no blood in stool or urine either. Also, I have no insurance or I would have gone to a doctor by now. This is why I am trying to be certain about where I seek help. A regular doctor where I pay out of pocket would likely send me to OBGYN and then I would have to seek a 2nd doctor. My husband and older son are upset that I m not going, but I don t feel compelled to just run out to see someone just yet. Although the pain was quite severe a couple days ago, it is bareable right now.
