I have a pain in my lower left adomen. It only hurts when i walking or when I move my left leg whilst lying down. If i press the area it does not hurt. my doctor prescribed cataflam for me to use when the pain comes on and it helps. I however, need a resolution to get the pain gone for good. I am 32 yrs, 5ft 4in and general good health. I had a c-section with my son who is now 2yrs
Hi. Thanks for your query and a classical history. This is suggestive of an infection / swelling in the muscles which are deep down at the back-side of abdomen, like ilio-psoas muscles. There can be an abscess in these muscle and can be secondary to an infection into the spine-vertebrae to be specific. The best way to get a diagnosis is by MRI of the back, spine and cord; as also of the muscles. Once the diagnosis is made you also need to undergo blood tests for infection, kidney and liver functions done. A proper antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines would help. This has nothing to do with C-section 2 years back.
