Could The Abdominal Pain Be Due To Lymph Node Inflammation?

I have had lower abdominal pain for the past few months, in conjunction with a series of other injuries to my shoulder and nerve entrapment in my elbow. Having been unhealthy or hurt in so many places for so long, I have to wonder whether the problem is systemic. The abdominal pain is around where I understand lymph nodes are. Could the pain be due to lymph node inflammation?

Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Abdomen is said to be a pandora box, and pathology in any intra abdominal organ including the lymph nodes could cause inflammation and pain in the abdomen. However, there are other common causes for abdominal pain than the lymph nodes. If I were your doctor, I would go for an ultrasound of abdomen to see the status of the intra abdominal organs, and plan out the management accordingly. Till then I would advise you for an anti spasmodic along with a proton pump inhibitor drug for a symptomatic relief.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
