Sounds like something that needs a doctor’s attention. It doesn’t sound keto-related.

Appendix (if you still have one). If so, get to a doctor ASAP.

Does it feel like it literally travels “around” your right side around your hip to your low back?

No no hip pain just the tummy and dull ache all over my back really? I will leave it overnight it’s not gotten any worse but not gotten any better either in myself I feel fine no
Other symptoms and it has come out of nowhere

Wow this sounds rough but the biggie is appendicitis.

I don’t know you for medical but I would maybe seek a Drs advice if it gets worse, cause you know you and you know the level you could be dealing with so…and other symptoms? Hit ya out of the blue could be a few things but in all truth I would hit a Dr and get checked out cause we all do get nailed by ‘real med stuff’ when we least expect it…and hoping nothing but the best for you!!

and check back and let us all know how you are doing!!!

Appendicitis is usually overwhelmingly painful. The kind of pain that doubles you over and keeps you from functioning at all. It is also usually accompanied by nausea. The pain the OP was describing could also be gallstones or kidney stones.

But if it is appendicitis, getting to the hospital quickly is important, because you seriously do not want the appendix to rupture while it is still inside you.

On the other hand, stones can be very painful, too. A friend of mine who was hospitalised for kidney stones was told by his nurse that she had found kidney stones to be even more painful than giving birth.

Thankyou for this and your reply and advice much appreciated I thought this was a Keto thing I have nt been eating a lot lately as not hungry and when I have eaten it’s mainly eggs,of some sort not really had lots of veggies and don’t really enjoy the ones
we are allowed, anyway pain wise was on 9 out of 10 yesterday today a 7 rested lots laying down helps for some reason when standing can feel it travelling through and up my back goodness know what it is don’t want to go anywhere near a dr or hospital with
Covid around at the moment, I will see how I get on over the next few days- staying positive I still have no appetite!! Tomorrow will be day 3 of unintentional fasting :slight_smile:

I would really push for qualified medical attention. Since it doesn’t appear you will be doing that, check your water and fiber intake (I caution you to not increase fiber without lots of water increase). There are apps that will track those amounts.

my co worker had appendicitis and lasted days before hitting the hospital and his pain level, while tough, was not enough for him to get to ER and get checked out til that night he burst the appendix and was rushed to ER where he darn near died, about 4 times I think. Septic to the max. Like 1 year recovery and the guy still was not the same. When I chatted wtih him when he returned to light duty at work over a year later it was amazing his story. He said he will never be the same ever from how the septic ruined his body. But he never knew what he had, just knew he was off and hurting but never gave in…lower back and radiating could easily be kidney stones and those range ya know…one minute ok and the next a pain level thru the roof if that sucker moves some on ya.

You watch you for sure now and I get that fear…no one wants a hospital right now, I so get that!! But real ER stuff is just that so don’t not go if you feel you truly need help. Wishing you the best of the best!!
