    I had my early July 2016. It started in the early afternoon just after eating my lunch. I felt a sharp pain in my belly on the right side. I didn’t feel liked eating dinner that evening. The pain got worse overnight. The next morning that I took a nap on my recliner and even couldn’t get out of the chair. My mother came to helped me out of my chair. Her car was parked next to mine. I have to walked towards her car. It was so hard to walked towards her car. She drove me towards the ER at the hospital. I felt liked not my normal self. I didn’t felt feverish or sick at all. I had water and 1 of my weight loss shakes. I had surgery that evening at 7pm. I even noticed a thunderstorm was coming just before my surgery. It took 3 hours for it because of me being obese. I woke up in the recovery room and for a second that I forgot where I was in the hospital. I even looked at the clock which was midnight. I didn’t have my contacts or glasses on. I was at the hospital for almost 5 days. I was feeling a lot better after the surgery. I was a little bit weak at first. My attitude was back to normal. The first day of doing the therapy and I didn’t want to walked around. Even though that I just had surgery. I had 3 things connected towards me. I didn’t have anything to eat for the first couple of days. I even listened towards the doctor’s orders. I even had a couple stomach growls on Friday afternoon. When I was back on normal food. I ate a big breakfast. That was a big no for me after eating everything. I ended up eating less on the next meal. The breakfast was very good. I was discharged on Monday afternoon. My mother got me out of the hospital. We went towards McDonald’s to get something to drink. I had a large Diet Coke to drink. I went to used the restroom,too. My mother bought me a walker for me to walk with. I didn’t really need it. I put it together. I even didn’t had my parents little dog jumped on me after the surgery. I had seen the same doctor a couple times to removed the staples on my incision. I had a little bit more staples from my left ankle after being broken. I even did bounced back really quickly. My main doctor thought that I didn’t because of my surgery. I still have that big scar from the surgery on my belly. It has been over 7 and a half years soon in early July it would be 8 years.

    Is stinging tender skin in the area. Also in the same place but in my internal back area. Or maybe I just twisted something?

    I'm here trying to figure out if that's what I have. Lower right quadrant pain, fairly sharp and pinpoint. A little worse with palpation. Absolutely no other syptoms. 4" below belly button, 2" to the right side, front side. Hurts more when standing. It's been intermitent for a week, pain usualy only lasts a couple of hours. Also considering a stone. I know by time anybody reads this it will be figured out, I wanted to see what anybody comes up with.
    Background: I am on the Keto diet, high in protein and fat. I don't drink enough water. History of constipation, take linzess, colorectal resection(friable polyps, 1 burst) and bladder stones. The latter hurt like bloody hell when they pass. I have little appetite, normal since starting keto and I'm down from 205 to 163 in 3 years. I can easily go 2 days without eating and not getting hungry. Last 2 weeks I've been bad. It's blackberry season (grow them myself) and been pounding the cobbler, pie and the required icecream to go with them. Sudden sugar maybe? Blackbery seeds? Sudden change of diet? I also eat lots of nuts and peanuts (which as you know aren't nuts).
    Hit me.

      I had something similar, I cut down spirits and incorporated keifer, cut down on spices as well. Nothing changed for a about a week, then I felt something let loose in my gut and took a stinky dump and there was a strange looking thing floating, like a fungal flower. The pain was gone for a long time.

      So what is the deal? Did you figure it out !?

      @@christinasteir5894 No, but I drink kefir and don't trip when I get gas, I learned that particular place the way I described it is usually a digestion issue. Once I started paying attention I realized I got it when I was being a glutton and eating too much processed food. I still get it when I eat too much spice but the kefir takes that away.
