Lower left abdomen pain?
My guess would be intestinal gas. I worked in an ER for a few years and remember a couple of people coming in for it ... they were a little embarrassed when they found out it wasn't cancer or something horrible, but they were relieved and it went away. Sometimes it hurts without added pressure. Where it was only a 15 minute bout, that would be my best guess. >>>I saw your additional comments. Definitely sounds like gas pains ... there is a reason babies cry so much when they have gas - it really hurts. Adults generally get the severe pain less often, but, though it makes me laugh (maybe I'm sophomore-ish), gas can be very painful. As far as appendicitis, this doesn't sound like the case at all. Wrong abdominal quadrant, not a long enough duration of pain, and appendicitis pain generally is most severe when you release pressure from pushing over the appendix (something I learned while an EMT). Try just passing it, if you can. If your someplace public or just can't, try Mylanta or some sort of gas medicine. You probably ate something that caused it, and may want to take Mylanta or whatever if you eat that food again.
How do you get rid of sudden pain in your lower left abdomen?
I am not a physician, but I do have experience with left lower abdominal pain.I had pain in my lower left abdomen that lasted a couple of days. I finally went to the emergency room when I felt that there was nothing I could do to make it better. After a series of tests and X-rays, they determined that I had diverticulitis. They put me on some very heavy duty antibiotics and told me to eat soft foods. The pain was gone within a day or two. I now know that I have diverticulosis which can turn into diverticulitis if I don’t eat enough roughage or chew grains and peanuts well enough. Sometimes I will get a (much less) pain in the same area and I will switch to soft foods and drink lots of water and it goes away, but if it doesn’t go away, or if the pain gets worse, I plan on going to the doctors office or emergency department the reason is below.My good friend had the same symptoms, although I didn’t hear about it until after the fact, he waited to go to the ER. the pain became unbearable so he finally went. He had severe diverticulitis. He ended up having to have part of his colon removed, and had a colostomy for six months. Simply put, a colostomy is when the surgeon routes the colon to the outside of the abdomen, a special bag is placed, adhered, over the hole and that is how you poop.I suggest you get your pain checked out by a medical professional.ColostomyImages from Bing

Congrats on having no abnormalities found after such extensive exams (personally, if you were my patient, at 23 yo, I wouldn’t have done so many exams).Many people having an irritable bowel syndrome feel their sigmoid colon, located in the left lower part of your belly, cramping, this pain radiates to the back, groin and thigh.These are measures that you can try to alleviate your pain:-if constipated do something about it, e.g. by-taking lots of food fiber e.g. metamucil® 4 tablespoonfuls with lots of water a day which can be effective in non constipated people too-spasmolytics e.g. Duspatal® (mebeverine) -some people I treated did quite well often on super low dosed tricyclic antidepressant (imipramine, nortryptiline) starting at 10 mg at night, after 3 to 6 weeks if no success slowly more 25 mg (to a max of 150 mg/day). It only works after 3 to 6 weeks, so patience is needed. This we know from our chronic pain clinic experience.-some patient did very well on cognitive behavioral treatment.

If I would turn over it would hurt, but also if I tried sleeping sitting up, I would get a 30 sec. sharp pain on my left side. I am leaning more towards severe abdominal ligment pain, but not sure if it could be painful braxton hicks or some kind of infection. Has anyone experienced something like this come to find out you had an infection or something else. I had the pain the entire night ranging from very painful to dull. This morning the pain is dull but still present on my left side. I called my docs. office, but they probably won't return my call til NEXT YEAR. Any advice? p.s. no extra discharge and baby was moving this morning.
