question: My daughter, who is 8, has been having lower abdominal pain for almost a year now. The pain is in one area right above her pubic bone. Lately it s constantly there but worse when and after she pees. It does not burn , but she says it feels like someone is twisting her inside and stabbing her, it is also tender to the touch. We have had numerous urine tests, they all come back negative. She s had a ct scan , an ultrasound and blood work. We have been told by emergency dr. s and the paediatrician they don t know what s wrong. The pain has gotten worse in the past 3 months, she has been missing school and staying in bed a lot. Not being diagnosed with anything we feel we are at a loss on how to help and where do we go next.
