I just posted this on H&F but also wanted to post here since this can be sports-related. (Unfortunately I've been told not to exercise for at least a few weeks =(
The past two months I've been having pain in my lower right abdomen which would come & go sporadically - sometimes bad, sometimes faint. It's been horrible going to Dr's trying to diagnose this: I had ultrasounds, a CT scan - they ruled out that there was nothing wrong - no cyst, no tumor, etc. The pain started about 4 days after I did some really heavy lifting moving my mom - so yesterday my Dr said he thinks it could be a pinched nerve. I went to the chiropractor yesterday & she started doing treatment for this & did Xrays - my back is definitely a little messed up - & the areas where my spine is shifted can cause abdominal pain.
Has anyone else had a pinched nerve before & how were you treated; how long did it last? It's kind of weird to me how back pain is leading to a pinched nerve in my lower abdomen - but I guess it's possible!
Re: RP: Treatment for pinched nerve
I had something similar happen to me last October to my neck/back playing soccer, it was awful I couldn't lift my head off my pillow, I ended up having xrays that showed my spine had shifted as well
The chiropractor worked great, she adjusted me about 5-6 times over about a 2 week period and she did the stem treatment with ice. She just told me to ice and rest - that was all I could do, and no sports, or working out. It took about 3 weeks to get it worked out
I know how ya feel it sucks but it will get better soon!
