Not necessarily.: Here's what the tests you've had could miss: 1. Psoas muscle spasm. This hurts like crazy in your lower quadrant. A physical therapist might help. 2. Inflammatory bowel disease. This could require a colonoscopy. Any diarrhea? 3. Endometriosis 4. Ectopic pregnancy. Any chance? You need a thorough history and physical exam. Surgery should be a last resort; it can cause more harm than good.

More ?s than answers: A colonoscopy? If everything's normal, then maybe laparoscopy. But colonoscopy seems like the next logical step before slicing you open. What does the imaging show? What's your physician say? What do your blood tests show? Way too many unanswered questions. I don't even know your age? What do the physicians caring for you have concerns about? 2 weeks is not that long. Weight loss? Etc.
