Left side lower abdomen pain

[sunisargur]

For a month or so have a sensation on the left lower abdomen. Have a bloated feeling and stools are not regular. Got a scan done and test indicate 3mm size stones in the gal bladder.

Yes I have this as well, I've been advised to leave well alone unless it really becomes to painful and interferes with our daily routine.

iv'e also got this problem but after all the tests i still haven't got a diagnosis.

i have been put on a two year waiting list for a colonoscopy with a general anaesthetic as my first one could'nt be completed.

so i must try to experiment to get my self better.my most successful self treatment is a glass of hot water with lemon juice on an empty stomach in the morning.

add a bit of honey if you wish.

it has sorted my digestion out and alliviated the pain in my lower left abdomen.i'm surprised a doc has suggested gallstone when your pain is lower left.

did he explain how this happens.

i'm starting to enjoy life again after five years suffering.

but i am still aware of the pain site but its tolerable.

i also observed that i dont tolerate alcohol these days very well so limit myself to two beers if i go on the razz.

My thought went right to an ovarian problem, or perhaps diverticulitis. These are just thoughts. Many people have a gallstone upon getting a scan which is often just a red herring and has nothing to do with the problem. Usually gallstones cause pain on the right side and higher up, although anything is possible. Below is a link that might interest you. Good luck as you investigate further, please let us know what you find.Most ovarian cysts are small and don't cause symptoms. If a cyst does cause symptoms, you may have pressure, bloating, swelling, or pain in the lower abdomen on the side of the cyst. This pain may be sharp or dull and may come and go. If a cyst ruptures, it can cause sudden, severe pain.May 22, 2018
