Answer:
It's very hard to determine what is going on without doing an examination. The fact that it's on the left side and as longs as the sharp pain remains on the left side you can almost rule out appendicitis. Did you have a meal in a last few days that were out of the ordinary something you would not ordinarily eat? It could be just gas. Do you have a fever? have you had a bowel movement in the past few days? If no fever then good sign. If no bowel movement , maybe your about to go. The only organ in the left lower quadrant of the stomach is the sigmoid colon is called sigmoid because its "S" shaped. When you get your examine it will be clear, like I said before its hard to determine without doing an abdominal exam first. Most likely your physician will do a blood test just to be sure its nothing else (normal protocol). Good Luck hope its resolved soon.Dr. ALi, DC
my be APPENDIX-CHECK IT OUT!!
Might be just food poisoning. But localized pain like that also could mean something going wrong with your appendix. Appendicitis require surgery. If your appendx burst it could poison your body and kill you. It's actually useless organ your body don't need. Sometimes it can cause problems and they'll just take it out. Easy routine surgery. But could be fatal if left untreated.Another cause could also include stress. I actually had almost exact same thing, lower left stomach. Went in for check up. They gave me stuff for stomach cramp. I got better in few hours. Sometimes stress can cause bad stomach cramps that can last long time.But anytime there is sharp localize pain like that you should check it out with doctors to make sure it is not appendicitis or any other stuff.
It sounds like a trapped gas pocket. However, you are right to have it checked out. In the meantime try taking something like Gas-X, wait a few minutes and walk around a bit to try to break it loose. Keep your dr's appt.
Hi, so sorry about that intense pain. I can only imagine what you are going throw. You should probably visit the doctor, you shouldnt take it lightly. I wish you a quick and successful recovery.Monique
this pain coming deepened you food you was eating it
Are you able to pass stool? You could just be constipated and are blocked up. As far as appendicitis goes, even though your appendix is on the right, it is not uncommon for it to cause pain on the left. This has to do with gases being released into that direction. Any MD knows this, so maybe you should go to the emergency room to rule that out, because that can be serious.
