what might i have? please help if you know what you're talking about?
i began to have lower abdominal pains earlier today, about 9 hours ago.
at first i thought maybe it was just menstrual pain, because i usually get those cramps before my period rather than during.
but the pain has moved up to around my belly button and a little above
the pain has not ceased since it began, only when i curl into a fetal position or stand completely still does it slightly ease up.
it almost feels like a flu stomach ache. i feel like i do when i have the flu and get diarrhea, but at the same time its more of a muscle cramp feeling.
the pain has been all around my belly button and lower abdominal area. it hurts to walk, as if with every step i take something inside is bouncing.
i took a hot shower, which didn’t help, i ate pickles, which didn’t help (pickles usually make ease my stomach).
it feels like i’m trying to digest a bunch of rocks.
i’m a sixteen year old female. i have two weeks exactly until i’m supposed to start my period, i haven’t eaten anything out of the ordinary for my usual diet.
i’m thinking maybe a kidney stone(s). if you have any idea of what it might be, even if you agree with me, please let me know.
thanks so much

best case- ovulation cramps- the timing sounds about right.
i’m not super knowledgeable about endometriosis, but I do know that it is extremely painful and typically has a LOT of abdominal symptoms
