walking hurts - that's new!

I always type an update and then delete it. I feel like I post a little too much. But this one is new. My right side hurts when I walk. It's where I'd say my appendix is. Where I was getting sharp pain a few months ago. It isn't excruciating pain. But it is a little pinchy when I walk.

I don't know what's going on period. My doctor *thinks* I have Crohn's but I won't know until my colonoscopy in February.

I have a history of pain right there. Off and on for years. Inflammation in the area was noted by ultrasound and I have a swelling of some sort right there.

The last few days, my body feels like I've been beaten. My knee feels sprained. My back hurts but it isn't a back ache. It feels how the ache I get in front feels. Lots of burning feelings in my abdomen, left side mostly, right along my side.

Yeppers. I've had inflammation markers for years. Stool tests are negative for blood and parasites. I haven't had a stool test since July though. So it may not be accurate still.

I no longer even think about appendicitis anymore when I get pain there. But it was after the second time I ended up at my doc with pain in the same spot that she went over my history and started to piece it together. I unfortunate have moved a lot in the last 10 years and was never with a family doctor long enough to have one look at my history long enough to say something isn't right. It's happening more frequently now though. I self diagnosed myself with IBS which I now know isn't the way it works........

I think I might be coming down with a virus though. I feel rough today. I've never had influenza but with these aches, something is gearing up.
