Question 1

abdominal trigger point injection locations.?

Accepted Answer

Many points: I usually feel the areas pf the abdomenal wall to find the tirgger points my self.

Question 2

i have chronic abdominal pain- would trigger point injections help?

Accepted Answer

See your physician: First, you need to find out why you are having abdominal pain.  A trigger point injection may help with a pain caused by a specific, reachable structure like a tendon or an injured bone impinging on a nerve.  Abdominal pain can come from organs or moving parts of the intestine and won't help.  Get a medical evaluation to find the cause and the treatment

Question 3

i still have pain in my abdomen on day 19 aftre my triger shot,could it be a sign of pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Wait and see: Pain is not predictive of successful fertility treatment. If the pain is severe see your obgyn to rule out ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome.

Question 4

i have an itch underneath my skin in my abdominal area. it happens occasionally and doesn't seem to be triggered by anything. what could this be from?

Accepted Answer

Blood flow: Typically an increase in blood flow to the skin of the trunk, including the abdomen can cause an itchy feeling.  Would monitor progression, and if persists, will need to keep a written diary of what you are doing before and during the symptoms start.

Question 5

when i get the "attack" my abdomen goes into spams which make it hard to walk or breath or stand up straight. anything and nothing can trigger it. it can last for an hour to a day. sometimes if i take pain meds it helps other times nothing helps.

Accepted Answer

Abdominal pain: That is a lot of GI symptoms - this requires a comprehensive in person history &amp; physical examination, maybe OB/Gyn consult to rule out endometriosis, possible lab work and/or radiology imaging, possible future Gastroenterology consult

Question 6

cyclical burning/aching pain in lower right abdomen. no known triggers. possible causes?

Accepted Answer

Consider this...: Causes of recurrent abdominal discomfort as described may be identified by first addressing signs/symptoms so as to localize the organ involved: in women: vaginal discharge or bleeding, alteration in periods, pregnancy risk? Fever, nausea, vomiting, altered stool pattern, blood with stool, tenderness, distension? Painful urination, blood in urine? Recent trauma, herniation? Stressors? Other risks?

Question 7

can smoking marijuana trigger abdominal migraines?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Smoking marijuana can cause unusual gastrointestinal symptoms including what some would consider to be abdominal migraines. If you notice this specifically after smoking marijuana, and it subsides, it could be that. However, if you have it other times, or if you have progressive abdominal pain with any systemic changes, you would need to consider being seen by a physician. Hope this helps!

Muscle : Probably muscular, try local heat and an anti inflammatory. Good Luck

Question 9

brief sharp sensations in my lower abdomen when i stretch the wrong way, that can be triggered by laying a specific way, laughing and coughing. thanks?

Accepted Answer

Muscle: These muscle spasms are like a charley horse. Since they are recurrent and if they occur frequently, it's advisable to get checked for deficiencies of calcium, magnesium or potassium which are causes of muscle irritability.

Question 10

elavil (amitriptyline) for abdominal migraine, i was wondering if i am able to eat chocolate now, since it's a trigger. i ate chocolate the other day, no migraine.

Accepted Answer

Try it and see: Chocolate  is a known trigger for some people's migraines along with other foods. If you can now eat it without causing a headache you may continue. I would be careful, however, and start with a small amount.
