Avatar m tn In mid April I started having abdominal pain on the left side. The pain was mainly right below my rib cage and on the lower left side. I also had some small bursts of pain by my heart and on the lower right side, where my large intestine starts. The pain would worsen when I ate and would practically go away when I passed a stool. And when I was hungry my stomach would start to tighten up.

892237 tn?1249841914 The pain starts in upper mid stomach area then spreads throughout the left side. I had x-rays and ultrasounds which showed a lot of stool. I don't think this is causing my pain because I have been pretty normal in that area although I sometimes I suffer from constipation. My dr. ordered a "stomach emptying scan" hopefully this will determine the cause of my pain.

Avatar m tn I forgot to mention that I also experience like a twitching or spasm on the same time as discomfort or pain. When the twitching happens I can feel it externally when I touch the area. I've never had the severe pain or nausea/vomiting, and no swelling or pain to the touch. I've got a pre-scheduled appointment with a gp on Wednesday. Are there any specific questions I should ask?

Avatar f tn I'm having severe stomach cramps on the lower left side of my stomach. It hurts so much that I can hardly move and they're not going away. AF finished over a week ago (I'm on CD11). Ever since AF finished I've been having cramps in the right side of my stomach, and in my upper and lower stomach everyday. However they changed sides this afternoon and have become really painful. I've also have a really windy rumbly stomach. Are any of these symptons a sign of pregnancy?
Avatar f tn I usually have no trouble sleeping on either side but last night could absolutely not sleep on my left side, every time I turned to lay on the side I would get severe sharp pains and as soon as I turned again to the right it was fine.

Avatar m tn They are not offering any other help for the pain in my left side and are saying that I will have to live with some of this pain. Also will not give me anything for pain that will help. I know there has to be something causing this pain and have even told them that I think they are missing something. I am going to find a new doctor because I am not convinced that ibs alone is causing all this pain and discomfort. It is definitely affecting my quality of life.

Avatar f tn Since January of this year I have had recurring pain on the left side of my abdomen below my ribs. At first I thought it was endometriosis because it runs in the family and when I asked my gyno he agreed and said not to worry about it because i'm only 22 and not having kids yet. In the last 5 months the pain has gotten worse. It has went from being random once in awhile pain to something that is here everyday and hurts a lot more than it did to start with.
Avatar m tn It usually is in my lower quadrant of my abdomen on my center to left side. I break out in sweat as I sit on the toilet thinking I need to use the toilet. I can hear gurgling in my stomach and occasionally have gas. Some times it is accompanied by diarrhea, sometimes not. When I feel like I go to the bath room I feel as though I am giving birth through my back side. But it rarely is rock solid. Sometimes it feel as as though I have torn my rectal area as I can see blood on but not in my stool.
Avatar f tn on the third day, the incision broke open (no infection) starting on the left side, but the wound leaked a lot for 3 weeks , then it took about 3 months for the incision to fully heal. For a while I had pain in the left side whenever I went for the prone position. That is almost all gone now. However, if I pick up a heavy object, the left side seems very sore and sensitive ( the skin seems sensitized ) and there is pain.
Avatar n tn Yes.
Avatar m tn Since about 8th grade, i have off and o experienced severe lower left side pain. I am 23 now, and 5 years removed from high school and now I am in college. It was progressed over time from hurting just once or twice every few mnths to hurting just about every day. This pain does not get better or worse regardless of my body position. However i have found that if i roll up a pillow, fold it in half and lay on it, the pain becomes far worse, but it makes it feel beter much faster.
