hi, I have a sharp pain in the left side of my tummy. It is sharp and does not come and go. It has been painfull for about 2 hours. It is the time of the month but I dont normally get pains like this. I have my appendix out a year and a half ago and it is the same pain just on my left side.
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. This can be due to inflamed lymph node in the abdomen, I would think of diverticular disease. The best way is to get the standing X-ray of the abdomen and high resolution ultrasonography. Consultation with a Doctor can help to get a clinical diagnosis based on actual physical findings likes rebound tenderness, tinkling on auscultation, site and severity of tenderness and so on. Further tests and diagnosis will be based on these findings. So better to see a Doctor and get investigated to go for further treatment. You have already undergone appendectomy, so you can understand the importance.
