wierd pain

hey, was wondering if you guys could shed some light on a wierd pain ive been feeling, or if anyone had had it before. basically i keep getting random stabbing pains on me left side of my stomach, roughly in line with the belly button. i have no idea what it is, but it happened the other day for no apparent reason, and its happened again now, but its spread to my stomach aswell this time? im so confused, ive never had something like this before! has anyone had similar experiences?

Yeah, get it checked out, just so you know what it is.

Are you doing exams at the moment - under a lot of stress? Stress can bring on things like Irritable Bowel Syndrome which can give you stabbing pains in your abdomen I believe.

Either way, do as Green is - talk to a doctor about it. :smile:

probably* growth pains :P
When do the pains occur? After you've eaten/before you've been to the toilet?

You should probably try and fight your phobia and go and see a doctor, especially if you are going on holiday. You do not want to be ill while you are on holiday!
