For 2 days now I ve been having very bad pain in my lower left side of my abdomen. The pain is mainly on the side/front part of my abdomen but also goes to my lower back left side only. This is the second time in 2 months it s happened. The pain sometimes goes to my leg, or if I bend my leg up it causes more pain in my abdomen. Yesterday it went away on its own, but today it started again and the pain has intensified, what could it be? I eat relatively healthy and exercise 4-5 times a week. I m 28 years old, Hispanic 5 2 113 lbs.
Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would advise you not to have food from outside to prevent any kind of intestinal infections like meiosis which might cause colitis resulting in such pain. Also, I would advise you for an ultrasound of whole abdomen which would either confirm or rule out a left sided ureteric colic with radiation of pain to back and to left leg. Further management would depend on the reports of investigations. Till then, you could go for an antispasmodic and a proton pump inhibitor Chat Doctor. 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. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
