Unusual Pain In Lower Abdomen...?

[joko]

Ive had an unusual pain in my lower abdomen for a few days now - but its unusual because its more 'tender'
but its also a bit like appendicitis type pain - in that it doesnt hurt (much) when fingers are pressed into it, but really hurts when theyre pulled out quickly.

its all the way across both sides and low.
i have no other unusual symptoms

i have PCOS, but this is not like any pain have ever had with that, & in fact i've not had much pain from that in years really - just aches at periods & ovulation - its also different from the pain get when my ovaries feel swollen & its not in 1 or 2 places, its the whole area.
no chance of pregnancy

any ideas?
thanks
(obviously i will go to the docs regardless if it doesnt go away soon)

You are showing a classical called rebound peritonism
and should see a doctor

While I wouldn't immediately leap to the same conclusion as PP, his suggestion is worth bearing in mind:

If in doubt, call 111 for advice.

First of all, the above description is NOT "classical " rebound tenderness and doesn't indicate any peritoneal irritation in your original post,
Rebound tenderness is elicited by the "flat" of the hand NOT the fingers. An important diagnostic difference.

Your pain could be due to many things,but from your OP I would suggest that a cyst has burst or even bled.

At the moment no big deal, but monitor the situation for the next few days.

That sounds like appendix, though I'm not medically trained. I had appendicitis anout four years ago, and surgery, my pain was exactly like that. Phone your doctor or 111 straight away.

thanks all
ill keep an eye on it for a few days.

it doesnt feel like the cysts usually feel when they burst, but i guess its possible. they dont usually respond like this to the finger press thing.

ive already had my appendix out, thats how i knew one of the ways they test for it, the finger thing.
