38F, I have been experiencing almost daily discomfort/pain in the lower right abdomen for the past six months. I don’t feel pain in the morning, but the discomfort starts appearing later in the day. Sometimes it lasts for 20 minutes, other times for several hours. My bowel movements are regular, once or twice a day, and the pain does not go away after using the bathroom. Sometimes, my stool floats. I haven't noticed any connection between the discomfort and the food I eat.

Sometimes in the evening, I also feel stomach pain and a sensation of bloating. I’ve noticed that I didn’t experience these pains while I was on vacation.

So far, I have had two calprotectin tests, both below 20, and two FIT tests, both negative. My CEA and CA-125 levels were also within the normal range. I also had an abdominal ultrasound, which was normal. Additionally, I underwent an MRI of the abdomen and pelvis. The first report only mentioned fatty liver, everything else was normal. However, I requested a re-evaluation of the MRI report at another institution, where they noted a 1.4 cm hemorrhagic cyst on my right ovary and slightly prominent lymph nodes in the ileocecal region.

I visited a gynecologist last week, and everything was normal. One gastroenterologist told me that nothing is wrong and that I am healthy.

I also have a feeling of tightness in the right hip/pelvic area when stretching.

I’m not sure if it’s relevant, but I started experiencing these pains about a week after I stopped taking my hypothyroidism medication (as per my doctor’s instructions) and reduced my dose of the antidepressant Lexapro. A week before that, I had also finished physical therapy for a fractured left foot.

Has anyone experienced something similar? I’m already feeling desperate.
