Left side pain radiating to the back

[Apinke]

Been having left side abdominal pain for some time and I had a scan last year and I was told I have gall stones and the gp made an appointment for me to see a surgeon but the appointment was changed to a phone appointment due to covid 19.

The consuLtant Called and said it was unlikely to be gallstones as my pain was more on the left side and middle radiating to the back.

Last week I had more pain especially when I eat be i called the gp and she requested for me to do more bloods and a stool test.I had a stool test before and it tested negative for heliobacter pylori.

Sometime in December 2018 too I ended up in a and e on Christmas Eve with abdominal pain and a ct scan of the abdomen was done and I was told everything was fine.Pancreas , liver only fibroids that had shrunk were seen but I am so worried now.Then an urine test showed blood in my urine and I went on to have a flexible sig cytoscopy and all my kidneys and bladder was fine .

What could it be as going on google everything is pointing towards cancer.I am so scared as I am in my thirties with very young children and one disabled .

What else can I request to be done as the last scan that showed gallstones said all my organs were fine.

What can be causing this pain?

It sounds like you have had everything thoroughly checked, try not to jump straight to cancer, it's easy to do, but not at all helpful. Look up functional dyspepsia, and see if you think that fits your symptoms. Also, left side pain can be caused by diverticulitis.

Hi. Avoid googling ... it will have you believing you will be dead in 6 months!

You mention fibroids, l take it they checked for dermoid cysts in your ovaries? I had chronic pain 11 years ago was diagnosed with dermoid cysts and fibroids. Had a hysterectomy, on HRT and all is well. Hope you get an accurate diagnosis and relevent treatment soon
