Sorry that you're not well. At least you went to the doctor to check it out. I was thinking appendicitis or an ovarian cyst (a couple of my daughters had those). I hope that this will go ahead and clear up. Hugs!!!

Lindsey I hope everything is okay and you feel better soon. You really shouldn't wait so long to see a Dr. when you're in pain, waiting can make things worse sometimes.

Sorry you're sick Lindsey! Be sure to go back if it's not completely better. Everything that causes pain is on your right side, so I'm not sure what would hurt that high on your left

There are a few things it could be like pancreatitis, intestine obstruction, but I am having NO other symptoms other than pain and fever. Everythign is totally normal. So he's thinking there might just be some swelling from an infection, possibly in the colon? It hurts more when I move certain ways or hit a bump in the car or any sudden movements. The doctor said that a good indication is if it hurts when I breath in deep, because the diaphragm pushes the gut down which presses on the organs... and there is pain when I do that.

Lindsay, I hope this takes care of the symptoms - be sure to go back if it doesn't clear up. It could be something in the bowel, maybe a tiny pouch in the bowel that has become infected or inflammed. It should be OK, but you might need antibiotics. It sounds like it is too high to be your ovary.

Thanks for your input Gayle! The doctor said that if it's still painful Monday, that's a good indication that it's not just a viral infection and there is probably some bacteria in there so we'd go with antibiotics then.
I actually feel a lot better now than I did this morning or even early this afternoon. Maybe it's because I wasn't thinking about it all day, and I wasn't stressing out at work or anything either. I actually had a pretty relaxing day! At around 4:00 today we had cake for a coworker's birthday and as I was walking upstairs towards the lunch room I realized my abdomen was not hurting when I was walking up those steps. Right now it's not hurting at all unless I twist my upper body sideways. Standing or walking isn't painful. I just took my first pain reliever now and I won't take another tonight unless it starts hurting badly again.
