What Causes Intermittent Abdominal Pain?

Hi I have a couple things going on... for the past couple years I have had several tests done to check on some abdominal pain that I have, they have found nothing... Pain went away for a short time but back just as bad again. I also have what feels like a lump in my throat I have been check for gerd, reflux with negative results. I have had my tonsils removed, a full hysterectomy 3 years ago everything was taken out. My doctor just doesn t seem to be able to help me anymore. Something is going on and my family and I are very frustrated with no answers why.

hello,welcome to healthcaremagic

there can be multiple causes for intermittent abdominal pain like gastroenteritis, peptic ulcer disease, cholecystitis, intestinal obstruction, appendicitis(rarely intermittent), peritonitis,hepatitis, PID etc

following detailed history and clinical examination is required to narrow it down-
site
duration
onset
severity
frequency
associated with nausea/vomiting/diarhoea/dysentry
association with food intake
radiation of pain

investigations-
xray abdomen
CECT abdomen etc will be required.

for symptomatic relief take anti spasmodic like drotavarine, or dicyclomine and follow up with a doctor nearby.

lump in throat corresponds to some oesophagus disease which should be looked upon with further more evaluation.

hope it helps.
thank you
