I have a pain in my lower left hand portion of my abdomen, exactly where my belt hits my waistline.?

Question

I thought it might be kidney stones, but I was told it would start from the back and I would have problems urinating which I do not. I am 29 years old, and is has persisted for 2-3 months now. It is a 2 3 max on a 10 point scale, and I was left with a doctor asking me for stool samples saying I either have irritable bowel syndrome, or maybe parasites, i dont think it is either, and Im pretty sure I dont have a hernia because I have no muscle pain in the area no matter how hard i press, it feels like it is deep within me.

Answer 1

constipation? or probably IBS

Answer 2

If you don't feel muscle pain, then it could be something like an irritated bowel, and if I were you, I would go ahead and do a stool sample for your doctor. Meanwhile, you can type in "pain in lower left hand side of abdomen" on ask.com and read what's on there for various ideas of what it might be from actual medicos. I did that once for a similar temporary pain and it at least gave me ideas of what it was. (Turned out mostly gas pains and for some reason eating bread made it go away. Go figure.)

Answer 3

Loosen your belt so that it doesn't cause pressure against your skin. Or get rid of the belt in its entirety. Many people also experience mild pain because of having carried a wallet in their back pocket for years. The doctor's recommendation is to take the wallet out of their back pocket. You can put it in one of your font pockets where no pressure is created when you sit down.

The belt thing often triggers more pain when seated for a long time (such as when driving a vehicle). That's because your belt applies more pressure when you are seated.

Test it, or try it; you'll be surprized.

Maybe it's tender where your waistline and belt are pressing into you all the time. This has happened to me before. I stopped wearing the offending garments. A doctor could examine and test you forever and not come up with the obvious because he's looking for something from within his training.

Answer 5

do u do any stretch exercise? if yes, try stopping it for a while. maybe it is as simple as muscle pull.

on the other hand, it might be just gas or even enlarged spleen. meet a general physician and if they r not of any help, meet a gastroentrologist. if physical exam and stool test does not throw any light, you should ask for an ulrta sound or CT-scan in abdominal area.

:-) smile, i am not scaring u .. just don't blindly believe in what docs do/say. do ur own research also. good luck.

Answer 6

its does sound like a blockage. one thing to do is drink ALOT of water. i hate water and I'm also on pain pills so i suffer blockages all the time. and they do hurt bad to point i have to wear sweat pants cuz i cant stand anything pushing on that area. and its always on my left side. i was in hospital 2 times from it cuz i got so sick. try taking a laxative once or twice a day and eat very little but drink alot of water and i mean alot. i hope you feel better. :)

Answer 7

Have you taken perscription pain pills along with over the counter pain pills? That trick cause me to have a blockage....English for hurts like a beeyotch! My hernia didn't hurt that bad, but my blockage was horrible.
