Avatar f tn I am a 42 year old woman with frequent lower left quandrant pain. I've had this pain for the past 2 years, off and on. I've been checked by my obgyn as I have a history of complex and simple cysts of both ovaries as well as cervix; I had a partial hysterectomy 4 years ago. This most recent bout of pain has lasted 2 weeks; it is more pronounced in the morning and after exercise. My abdomen seems to be slightly swollen only on the left side and is tender to the touch.
1040763 tn?1254945697 I am a 26 year old female weight 216, height 5'9 - in general good health. Starting one week ago Friday I had a horrible pain in the top of my stomach right in the middle just below my breasts. The pain continued for three days. Friends and family told me that the pain sounded like that of an ulcer. I took some over the counter meds - (mylanta, pepto, pepcid,) and a couple rx (prilosec & previcid) to no avail.
Avatar n tn If pain is on the side in the left lower quadrant, it is possibly from the colon. Some rare condditions like volvulus (a part of the colon twists around its axis) could be possible. Small intestinal hernia would be also posible - this could be probably possible to detect with the hands as a soft lump in the affected area. I guess, ultrasound could be the first investigation and X-ray with barium swallow or enema after that.

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 f tn Currently, as has been the typical presentation felt for the past few years prior to the stellate ganglion injection, the majority of the pain is comprised of an underlying, constant, aching, sharp pain over the entire lower-left quadrant of my back, and muscle spasms cause a stabbing pain in random intervals over the same affected area.
Avatar m tn If the pain is lower left quadrant the next step would be a colonoscopy to rule out any organic cause for the discomfort. Lower left - if in the area of the lower descending and sigmoid colon - can suggest pocketing in that area. Diverticulosis has, in the past, been thought to be found only in older persons. That's no longer true. So despite your age, you may want to ask your doc to check.

Avatar n tn Besides the liver, the pancreas stretches from the right upper to left upper quadrant and the pain is usually felt deep as your describing. Ask your Dr. to check for pancreatitis. Stomach issues also cause URQ pain such as Gastritis, Peptic Ulcers, and Gastroenteritis. Ask for an H-Pilory breath test to rule that out. Are there any other symptoms other than pain? Do you experience nausea ? Does it get worse with eating? A little more description will help rule out things.
Avatar f tn I have hypothyroidism. My tsh was 11+ and my doctor put me on 25mcg of levothyroxine.

I'm still having bm's but they are small and hard and dark - but not black. I also haven't had a period in 3 months. I'm not pregnant.

Avatar f tn I have a very active lifestyle, however for the past few months every time I eat I feel like it just stops at my stomach. I feel bouts of nausea and have pain in my upper left quadrant of my abdomen and in my lower left quadrant of my abdomen. I do not have my gallbladder and I have had a complete hysterectomy. I have regular bowel movements two or three times a day. My question - what could it be? My colon cancer was stage I and received no chemo or radiation.
Avatar n tn Pain in the lower left quadrant is generally suspected to be either a cyst on the ovary or diverticulosis. If they haven't checked you for diverticulosis you might ask them to do so. Have you had a signoidoscopy lately? I believe you'll need to have that and a lower GI to make a definitive diagnosis. It sounds like you've already been checked for pelvic inflamatory disease and the possibility of an ovarian cyst, so you might go with the diverticulosis testing to be sure.
Avatar m tn Always after defecation, I feel like something is stuck in my rectum. Five months ago I went to the ER with acute right lower quadrant pain near the appendix with the pain reflecting right in my back.
