It's a good thing it's labeled right and left. We'd all be misdiagnosing ourselves!

Thank-you for this. I had paid in my right side now I know I'm shouldn't really open imgur
WickedArcher69
But don't just assume these things. I've had patients come in with abd pain across the entire upper quadrants and turns out to be a stemi.
snoobab
As a doctor: Bottom right and left should include ureteric stones, the most common cause of bottom right and left pain.
IHateApostrophes
Some of these aren't right. Biliary colic and duodenal ulcer are more common on the right.

If you have pancreatitis you just hope sweet sweet death comes or sedation.

Mine is autoimmune. Hell on your body.

Easy way to test for appendicitis: press down slowly but firmly over the appendix (it's right where it says in this pic) then 1/2
flowseeker
release quickly. You shouldn't feel too much pain while pressure is applied but when it's released it should be excruciating for a moment.

My dad probably saved my life because he knew this. My mom just thought I had food poisoning and wasn't going to take me to the hospital

It's gas
vrb28
but according to WebMD it's all cancer

How about putting "extreme gas" in all of those?

TunaWrangler
I had a sharp pain in my lower left abdomen. Turned out to be blood clots. Lots and lots of blood clots.
brumbievan
Me too! Urgent care doctor was like yea you have a UTI that's possibly progressed to a kidney infection. Went to ER later because pain 1/2
brumbievan
Increased. I had a bunch of clots in both lungs and the lower lobe of one had collapsed. Thank goodness I went in.
TunaWrangler
No way! Glad you are OK now, did you find out why? I just failed an antilupus coag test and have to be on bloodthinners now.
brumbievan
I actually was back in hospital for more of the same two more times after that - the last time with a massive dvt. All my blood tests 1/?
brumbievan
2/? were negative for any clotting disorders, so the drs concluded it was being on hormones, but I feel like that's just the easy

Nearly all of them are pretty inaccurate.

ManufacturedMannequin
Honestly, I feel most of the time it's gas of some form
SuburbanMeerkat
Agree. I love dairy but I'm lactose intolerant = very painful cramps after enjoying cheese pizza, enchiladas or Alfredo sauce :-(
ManufacturedMannequin
Haha at least you tough it out for the greater good that is dairy. You just need belly rubs

parabolic000
I had excruciating upper right abdominal pain, it wasn't anything but acid reflux.
kiwiflavored
Gas buildup in the stomach can hurt like hell. Flatulence too. Sometimes all you have to do is move around a little until the gas is out
parabolic000
It was unlike any gas I'd ever had before. Doc said I should take Prevacid, it went away.
Lemonbuns
I need to be burped or rubbed on the left back otherwise the trapped gas is so painful. It's annoying as hell
lucolema92
As a nurse this is brilliant
imcleverartistname
As a person who isn't a nurse, looking at someone saying "as a nurse" on imgur to this, and then agreeing with it, you're not brilliant.
DrSunglasses
I am surprised that, as a nurse, you did not realize how inaccurate this chart is.
burgerandy
Honestly, I'm not. A lot of nurses think they're doctors.
JoSTL15
Until you get someone like me whose appendix almost burst, but it wasn't in the right place!
thrull
as a nurse aswell, we work with addominal quadrants do it we? lower, higher, left right? well, I do anyways. easier to describe to patients.

GreatTeacherMichael
This looks like bullshit. I can't prove it is bullshit, but it definitely looks like bullshit.
spitefulac
As an EMT I'm calling BS as well....only ever used the the quadrants to assist in diagnosing. Even then we can never be 100% certain
voxinaudita
Not bullshit, just very very general guide to aid in diagnosis / where to focus imaging and other diagnostic tests.
stilev
It's due to embryological origin and visceral stretch receptors. If you want better explanation I can give it, just msg me
anigavdnasinep
yeah it's not very specific. especially bc they list random illnesses. Source med student
imcleverartistname
If it's on imgur, and posted by some asshole that makes a cute sharable-style pic from it, then it's most likely bullshit. I agree with you.
Fumeshroom
My crohns or IBD is in my right middle quadrant where my terminal illiuem is, so it is bullshit. At least for the IBD effecting left side
mydailydoseofantidepressantsisyourbooty
Two Problems with this. First, location of pain helps diagnose, but is rarely (if ever) used for diagnosis. Second, What's the point? (1)
G4PRO
Did you just copy pasta the same message on 2 different comment ? Yep you did
mydailydoseofantidepressantsisyourbooty
Yeah, it applied to the second one as well as the first. Why would I reword something that was already fine?
mydailydoseofantidepressantsisyourbooty
It's not like your gonna have the pain of appendicitis, look at this chart, and not go to the hospital. (2)
TheLurkiest
Also-- Unless I'm an EMT or a doctor and I know how to actually TREAT this stuff I don't see how this info by itself is helpful.
afuzzyyeti
Nurse and EMT here. EMTs cannot ever treat any of that stuff. Nurses are the ones that usually find something and treat it.

Someone should make another with "menstrual cramps" written all over the grid.

Huh so that's what the abdominal pains are. Webmd said cancer
Mmmelty
Funny story, my dad had abdominal pains, went to the doctor to get it checked out. Turns out it WAS cancer.
HakunaMatattas
you have cancer
pookieeatworld
Well, if you need an excuse to start making meth and being a badass, there you go...
PorkShenanigans
I was about to complain that my abdominal pains turned out to be cancer so this meme would have killed me, but luckily there's webMD
doodlydoodlydoo
It could still be cancer.
hardboiledfrog
A friend of mine had horrible abdominal pains and it actually did turn out to be ovarian cancer... shouldn't be ruled out. CA-125 ultrasound
[deleted]

hardboiledfrog
Ow... yeah, she had to have everything taken out. She has one of those DNA mutations (BRCA) making her susceptible to that and breast cancer
TheTastyGoldExperience
WebMD told me I had the plague once.
shovethis
We can't rule it out
HermeneuticalQuandary
The problem isn't that WebMD says cancer, it's an appropriate part of your differential, it's that you focus on cancer.
spaceasaurusrex
You must be so fun at parties.
zephyrbell
They forgot ovarian cysts rupturing. Had this happen. Thought i was dying. Was prescribed hydrocodone. Didn't die.
YoureAllUpInMyMixLikeFuckinBettyCrocker
Ovarian cysts are the worst. Started having them rupture about 10 years ago, and now it's almost a daily occurrence. Fun, fun!
zephyrbell
oh man that sounds awful I'm so sorry. I've had it happen once before but it wasn't as painful. This one was 2 inches and it was the worst.
YoureAllUpInMyMixLikeFuckinBettyCrocker
Yeah, some are kinda like "oh, ok there it is" and others are like "holyfuckingshitthisishowidie!" Percs help in the latter situations lol
SrDave
That or an incurable illness.
quicktochuckle
Also, gas.
GunslingerGonzo
Just looking at the name WebMD gave me cancer

There's a glaring absence... it's a female body... I know some abdominal pains they forgot
HermeneuticalQuandary
This was probably a GI learning aid and not a diagnostic learning aid but you are 100% right
Boopbeepbeep
YEP. Ever had an ovarian cyst twist? Had gallstones for 3 yrs bc drs thought the placement of pain was wrong. I wish they'd had this chart.
hoofbeatsandsnowflakes
actually once I webmd'd a weird cyst I had and it said specifically that it was not cancer. I think the internet broke that day
AlexisWalker
If you visit webmd and you don't have cancer, you're doing it wrong.

WebMD said early type 1 diabetes symptoms were AIDS, but the hospital said lupus. At least Dr. House was right.

As long as it's not lupus.
InqSerena
It's never lupus.
manateesarenotdugongs
Pregnant or cancer, always.
CherryPyro
or a STD
fishfinder401
Pregnancy could be an std

Pregnancy is closer to cancer. Baby is just a big tumor.

hangnail? stubbed toe? eyelid twitch? make sure your will is in order cause you got CANCER! --webmd
Genbuthesaint
Ugh my freaking left eyelid has been twitching like crazy for the past four months. SO ANNOYING.
ThaEnder
That happens to me when I sneeze or yawn extra hard.
OwlHouseDesigns
I'll pray for you, I hope you seek cancer treatment ASAP.
JavaBeanJohnny
that can be caused by dehydration, make sure you are drinking a lot of water
LongCommentChainAppreciator
Oh shit I hate it when that happens. I might not be a doctor, but for me when I have it, it's mostly being tired/not drinking enough fluids
LongCommentChainAppreciator
, too low salt-intake with those fluids and according to webmd: cancer of the cancer.
Soganox
Hate it when that happens. Usually solved for me by getting more sleep and trying to reduce stress at work.
jofo4242
WebMD said I might have "network connectivity issues"

And not even menstrual cramps which seems obvious

IWillHelpYouWithPuns
I was just diagnosed with those on Tuesday after I went to the ER... They're hellish
forgetthisnoise
Yeah got poly cystic ovarian syndrome. Have so many cysts on such a regular basis the only time I notice the pain now is when one bursts
Fotostatica
Walking on the street, all happy and dandy and *kapow!* evil cyst attacks and you want to roll and die.
goodtomato
I have a bunch come and go but weirdly they don't give me much trouble apart from some pressure/occasional pain.
Jenally
Same here. My Dr said that most women get some type of ovarian cyst at a particular point in the cycle but I'm not sure how true that is
PinkProzac
Amen!
BadgerTribe
It also used a female body which is really confusing.
amastine
Right, ovarian cysts are much more common than appendicitis. I had my first one this year and it was scary because I didn't know
perfectbosom
I had one at 6 (and a half) that was bigger than my ovary too so they just removed both.
KimTheGreat
I had a surgery in March for an ovarian cyst and now that same ovary grew another cyst again so im hoping it shrinks :(
amastine
Oh no! That's terrible. I want to hope I never get one again
jasonseagull
i just had a teratoma tumor removed along with my right ovary. it was the size of a grapefruit. fuck 2016
loolabell
Exploding cysts are the worst. i had one the size of a grape fruit explode when i was 12. thought i was dying.
oceanbreeze24
I had a small one explode. Woke me up out of a dead sleep. Hurt like a bitch. Those are no joke.
lillemormor
Know how you feel ladies. It happened to me on wednesday. Luckily I am scheduled for surgery to remove the cysts in jan. No pain like it
amastine
My husband and I were having sex and I had one rupture. I had never had one before and we both freaked out
dontcallmeplath
Omfg. ME TOO! And we had tickets to see Demetri Martin that night and I had to give them away because I thought I was dying. Still sad. :(
amastine
He thought he screwed up my mirana and was having a panic attack while I was stuck in bed with my insides killing me
iluvmykats
Holy shit. Was your abdomen super swollen right there? I mean a grapefruit is really big
loolabell
yeah it was, when it finally ruptured it was painful but the pressure was a relief
grumpyzuza
Mine was grapefruit sized at first and I didn't notice until it grew to a size of a basketball(during a month when I waited for surgery)
[deleted]
[deleted]
grumpyzuza
It wasn't so bad, just one day when I couldn't move at all or I would feel like getting stabbed. That was what made me go see a doctor
iluvmykats
O.o holy SHIT your abdomen must have been crazy swollen! Did you get random people asking if you were "pregnart"?
grumpyzuza
Actually it wasn't as visible as it seems, I'm quite chubby anyways and it was winter so the sweaters were doing the job
daxondax
I had one that large at 13. Didn't explode but had twisted my fallopian tube and killed my ovary. Way more painful than having kids.
loolabell
my mother had the same problem as me, and lost one of hers when she was 18. still managed to pop out another four kids. no worries! lol
SomeGeographer
Friend just had her ovary removed after a torsion. Has 3 kids & said the torsion pain was far worse than her 3 epidural free deliveries.
pelusita35
I had a twisted one too. Not that big, but holy shit, that mother hurt.
daxondax
I laugh when doctors/nurses ask me to use the pain scale now.
Inoninja
Same thing happened to me this past April. I'd had kidney stones before so mom told me to ride the stones out :"""""(
daxondax
First doc at the hospital said it was appendicitis and sent me home. Mom tried to make me go to school. :/
Inoninja
Why would they send you home with appendicitis?!?! Shouldn't they be operating asap to protect you from bursting infections?!
loolabell
they always think it's appendicitis. ass holes.
