Hello, I had a partial hyst about nine years ago. About a week ago I started feeling like I had strained my lower stomach muscles, though I did nothing to feel that way. Over the weekend, the pain in my left lower stomach has gotten worse. We live in the middle of nowhere, so my OBGYN is 3.5 hours away. Until I can get to her, any ideas ??! It s hurts to stand, sit, cough, etc......
