Hope it is not diverticulitis, my husband had that a couple of years back his pain was on the right side and first we thought it was his appendix. You better get checked out asap. Probably not related to menopause. We don't need any more crap, menopause alone can drive a woman crazy. Hope they find out what causes the pain, take care. Peace and Love.

Thanks. I have had nothing but one health issue after another for the past five years. I hope I finally get something resolved.

I was thinking the same thing enchanting was. Diverticulitis ! My husband had this also and on the left side. Had to have a foot of colon removed. Not that you would. It can actually be cleared up without any surgery. Another thing I thought of was kidney stones although I think a lot of the time you notice it up higher on your back before it gets lower. Can't you still get tumors, fibroids, cysts etc... even after meno?

Good thing your getting it checked out. I'm sure you'll be fine.

Take Care, Donna

Yes, check with your doctor first. I was experiencing pain there, along with periodic dizziness, stomach upset, and the feeling of an elephant being on my chest. I went to the doc, who ruled out any heart problems, then prescribed Prilosec, which worked (it's a 14-day regiment).
I would've never guessed by where the pain was, and the dizziness, that it was heartburn! That's one less thing to stress about!

Good luck, and keep us posted!

I had an ultrasound and he says there is a cyst between my spleen and liver. The pain has moved up to below my breast bone now and is causing me shortness of breath and lots of swelling. I get full easily and it is making me very uncomfortable. I am scheduled to see a surgeon on the 16th of April to see what he thinks it is. I am a bit concerned.
