Suggest Treatment For Lower Abdominal Pain Triggered When Lying Down?

Hello, I am experiencing incredible stabbing pain in my lower abdo right side 2 in from the top of my pelvic pain. I have had several RF s done in my facet joins bilateral lumber and thoracic. I have also had ultrasound on my gleuatel muscles-no findings. The pain is worse when I lie down or bend to my right, sitting over long periods also triggers the pain. Please help

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read the history and understood the problems.

History of several RF meaning radio-frequency session for facet joints of bilateral lumbar and thoracic region could have caused the trauma to the nerves supplying the pelvic area.

I would advise you the following:
Get a fresh MRI of the thoracic and lumbar spine to see the compression on the cord or any other problem related to the spine.
CT scan of the abdomen and colonoscopy to rule out or confirm any abdominal pathology.

Further treatment will depend upon the findings of these reports and obviously a clinical diagnosis done on physical examination.
I find this answer helpful
