Hi 3 weeks ago I experienced a weird painful pain under my lower left rib which gradually spread across my abdominal area. The pain felt like the inside of my stomach was burning and not like a heart burn type a burn but the pain was intense. It then went down to my lower right side. It was at this point I was admitted to hospital on suspected appendix. After X-Rays, scans multiple bloods and stool taken everything came back clear. 3 weeks on and the pain is still constant and forces me to sleep it off. I am on medication but does not seem to be working. My bowel movements are totally different to what they use to be and have a fowl odour at times and also an acid odour. I have another stool sample to do in a weeks time as blood was in last stool sample. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Hi, thanks for sharing a brief history. Having pain on the left side upper abdomen can not be appendix for sure and suspecting it as appendix??  Pain in the upper left abdomen can be a blunt abdominal injury or a spleen issue. Well since you were on a medication the stool you are passing has such odor. I think that should be the case which made you feel the blood in the stool. Gastritis is also one of the cause for the left upper Chen Chat Doctor.  Now what I feel is you may have a catch of the muscle in the left upper Hyperion
