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 n tn All of a sudden I have a severe pain on my left side under my rib cage. I know I don't have gas, what could the problem be. Could it be my appendix??
Avatar m tn I'm a 29 year old male and I have been having more of a discomfort than pain in my left side below my ribcage. Occasionally it's a little painful, but it's a dull pain. I'm starting to get a little worried about pancreatitis after some online research. It's been going on and off for years. I used to abuse alcohol, but have been relatively clean for over a year, with a few relapses here and there. Could this be something like pancreatitis or something else?
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 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.

Avatar n tn I am 5 weeks also amd having slight cramping and stomach pain Any sickness for you yet
Avatar m tn Sometimes it feel as as though I have torn my rectal area as I can see blood on but not in my stool. After about 20-30 minutes the attack subsides and I am left exhausted. Then the pain disappears however my stomach muscles are tender. I wonder if I have colitis or Cohn's. I definitely see these symptoms.
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.
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 Basically my condition has gotten worse since the surgery and really cant tell if my problems are due from the surgery or something that could have been missed from the original complaint of having pain on the left side.

No early signs of early colon cancer in family just some polyps in uncles and father who are in their 50's.

Avatar n tn Hi I am 33 y/o male. I've had left side pain (front near ribs/side) for the past 3 months now. The pain comes and goes, seems like it gets worse after I eat too much, sit in certain positions, lie in certain positions etc. CBC and urinalysis are normal. Ultrasound of stomach area didn't find anything abnormal. What could this be? If it is muscle strain how come it isn't getting any better? Are there other explanations?
Avatar m tn I tried eating some cheese dip a month ago and woke up in extreme pain on my right side that spread across my stomach, threw up and had to go to the ER. The dr swore it was my gallbladder but all tests (blood, ultrasound and HIDA scan) were normal. I tried eating 1 cookie 2 weeks ago with my egg whites and woke up with the same pain just not as severe but I didn't throw up this time. Now I hurt all day long (right middle side).
Avatar f tn I have recently stopped taking all pain medication and I feel everything. The lower left quadrant pain, upped left quadrant pain, and the upper right quadrant pain from the removal of my gallbladder. I experienced hot flashes and cold chills last night. This morning I had cold chills so bad that I had three blankets on, a hat, hoodie, and winter jacket on inside my house with the thermostat at 73 degrees. It took me over 4 hours to warm up.

Avatar n tn with my mom they treated her with a course of antibitics and it cleared up for her... but her pain was a little more localized. i get pain on my left side too, initially they checked my heart but nothing was found... they determined it to be costochondritis though that usually effects the sternum. they treated it with anti inflamitories.. it seems though in my case that the pain is associated to my stomach , my pain travels into my left armpit as well..
