10 Yo Daughter Complains Of Stomach Pain About The Same Time Every Month. Appendix Already Been Removed. Talked To Pediatrician And They Said Most Likely She's Beginning Puberty. Any Thoughts? Slight Low Grade Fever Sometimes Also ( 99.1°).

Everyone's threshold of pain runs at a different scale. She is at the time of change and menses could be a possibility. Have you spoken to her about this? If not then it is time. Also try as best you can to record when the complaints occur and see if it is a cycle. As a woman you would know much better then I what she could expect.

Yes We've Discussed It Along W Her Pediatrician. She Has A Very Low Pain Threshold Also Which Doesn't Help.

Just try to be compassionate because if she has already had her appendix removed then she may have a fear that is also pushing things until they become "normal" for her. Im sure to a 10 y/o that any pain in that area brings a feeling of the past happening all over again. That added anxiety can caus things to misalaign in her mind. It's a critical time for all of you.

Yea We've Discussed That Too. ITs Also Difficult Because Im Not Her Biological Mother So My Personal Experience Can Only Go So Far With Her... And TryingTo Contact Her Biological Mother To Discuss What Her Cycle Was Like Is Impossible.
