Lower left abdominal pain for about 5 days. Went to the er and they said it was just that I was going to have diarrhea. Went and got laxatives to spend the process up and went to the bathroom and nothing has changed. Still painful and now a weird sharp pain by my left collar bone when I breathe deep
Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, in this case I would have advised you for a routine stool test for ova and cyst, a urine test (routine/microscopic/culture and sensitivity), and treat these if positive. If inconclusive and non relief of symptoms, I would advise you for an ultrasound of abdomen, and an X-ray chest to rule out any stone in the left sided urinary tract and any infective lesion in the chest. I would avoid advising you a laxative without getting into a diagnosis. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
