Question 1

can shingles cause svre stomach pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Pain on the abdominal wall in a single nerve root distribution can be quite severe and feel as if there is something inside you.  It will, however, appear with skin lesions.  If these are not present, herpes zoster (shingles) is unlikely, although not impossible.  Get a doctor to look at these.  Treatment now may save you from misery in the future.

Question 2

No: Where is your shingles located?
I do not know any connection to abdominal pain.

Question 4

have upper stomach pain neausea for over 6 years saw several gastro drs, did alot of test, saw several nerve drs did alot of test, found nothing wrong i have in past shingles in head took my eye sight and lyme disease why am i so sick?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide an opinion without additional history, physical examination may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor to see if you may be depressed. Depression is treatable. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!

Question 5

if i have lower stomach pain does that mean its an appendicitis?

Accepted Answer

: There are some basic self testy you can do at home. Hop up &amp; down on both legs, then one at a time. If the pain makes you fall over it could be appendix. If you can't walk fully upright across the room, it could be appendix. The final decision is made when a well trained doc examines you.

Question 6

i have stomach pain that comes and goes its not bad and i get nervous and stressed out really easily i am a very nervous person and when i get like that is usually when my stomach starts hurting. is there something i could do to ease it?

Accepted Answer

: You may try breathing meditation (sit in a quiet place, breath in deeply, hold your breath as long as possible, breathe out deeply, continue for 20 minutes, lie down for 10 minutes to let stress keep leaving your body; I get headaches when I stand up and rush around immediately after 20 min of breathing meditation). Use 10 minutes of breathing meditation and 5 min lying down if not enough time.

Question 7

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Normal recovery: Drink tea, sip it all day long. Nap and rest. Avoid eating, except small amounts until you are passing gas rectally. Okay to go for walk. Call if you develop a fever or worsening abdominal pain. Be well.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Could be other : also such as gas, kidney stone, hernia , IBS. To get a ct scan of the abdomen would not be a bed idea at least for a peace of mind.

Question 10
