Frequent UTIs. Fatigue, Severe Pain, Tingly Sensation All Over, Feeling Of Passing Out. History Of Hernia Surgery And Severe Pain In Lower Abdomen. Suggestions?
I had hernia surgery 30 years ago on my rt lower abdomen which has been very painful. I have had every test and they come back fine. My answer from the doc is its only scar tissue and I need to deal with it. Well I also get frequent uti's. Went to the Urologist that my doctor recommended but I wasn't impressed with him. He said I might get them just because of the anatomy of a female body. I'm always extremely tired and have to lay down because the pain gets so bad that I get tingly sensation all over like my hands and in my head and see floaters like I'm going to pass out. I'm on my feet all day. I can't sit or stand for long periods of time. I don't know what my next step should be.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
We tend to associate things with the recent past - ‘Post hoc ergo propter hoc’ – meaning "after this, therefore because of this" / this is not true most of the times! It may have nothing to do with the past surgery...It should be investigated like any other cause of pain.
Get a Gynaecological examination / Get a CT scan of abdomen and Pelvis / MRI of Lumbar spine - irritation of nerve root at the spine level...
Try Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs like ibuprofen / may try Gabapentin and/or antidepressants - they raise the pain threshold...
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck

Hi there,
Thanks for writing to us,
First rule out the cause of your right side lower abdominal pain.it is advisable to do an ultrasound abdomen and find out the cause.
as your doctors said , it might be due to UTI,s it is simple to treat. But I wont give you exact diagnosis without probing leading questions from you, as your history wont help me to know more about the condition.
If you are experiencing the problems getting worsening it is advisable to have examination from your nearest GP.
Take care.
