I have the same problem as everyone is describing above, as I am a man It must not be women only problem. sharp pain in the middle of night in lower belly relieved by geting up and walking around or going to the toilet. Gone when I get up.

I have been experimenting with various things in an attempt to manage the pain in my side at night.. I have had a reasonable amount of success. Enough so that most of the time I don't wake up in the middle of the night, not even once... when I do it is because I have not followed my regime..
The regime is a simple one, I don't eat after 7 and go to sips of liquid after 6.. If I'm going to eat close to the 7PM limit.. I try to make it as light a meal as possible.. fruit, salad.. nothing heavy... If I fall off my regime... I may not pay for it that night but rest assured after a second day...I'm back to where I was with pain and waking up in the middle of the night having to urinate to stop the pain..
I hope this helps.. If you try it please let me know your results.

I've been getting this for about a year, lying on my back and elevating my back up with 3 or more pillows usually helps. lying on my right side is far worse than lying on my left. im on a waiting list to get a camera down my throat, which i dont really want to do, and reading on here it doesnt seem to prove anything. have had all the blood tests done and they came back clear, also had an ultrasound. for the minute, they have put me on a months course of omeprazole, which does seem to be helping but still not perfect! Also, if i go out for a night and have a good intake of alcohol (by good i mean several pints) i never experience pain at night and dont feel like i've been in pain the next day.
If anyone has the answer to this please help, i'm at my whits end!!!!!

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Cancer affecting the left side of the bowel could cause left side abdominal pain. The symptoms expected would include weight loss, change in bowel habit, tending towards more constipation, poor appetite, and feeling generally weak. These symptoms may continue over months. Mind you, there are other conditions that would present like this (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, chronic constipation, celiac disease, irritable bowel syndrome, to mention a few),causing lower left abdominal pain with constipation, bloating and the like. It is only wise to see your doctor immediately if you are unwell.
Bowel Obstruction
Any cause of bowel obstruction could cause left abdominal pain, if the part of the bowel that is obstructed is on the left side. The symptoms of bowel obstruction would include abdominal pain griping or cramping, feeling like vomiting, or actually vomiting, with distension of the abdomen. The bowel may be making loud intermittent noises called borborygmy. If the obstruction is total, they will be no passage of feces and wind, but passage of wind would still be possible if the obstruction is partial; even small amount of feces on occasions.
Constipation
Chronic constipation, or even ordinary new onset constipation could cause abdominal pain. If the left side of the bowel is more affected, this will obviously lead to lower left abdominal pain. It manifests as inability to pass faces as usual, feeling bloated, without weight loss, if the constipation is a straightforward one.
Crohns Disease
Crohn’s disease is one of the so-called inflammatory bowel diseases. The problem with Crohn’s disease is that it mimics so many other causes of abdominal pain. It is however usually a chronic problem. If it affects the descending or sigmoid colon, it would obviously give rise to a lower left abdominal pain. Please read more on Crohn’s disease here
Diverticulitis
This is the most common cause of lower left abdominal pain, especially after 60years of age. Diverticulitis is very rare on the right side, though it does occur. It is also a disease more of elderly ones. It is due to the out pouching of the wall of the bowel like out growing fingers outside the walls of the bowel, mainly affecting the sigmoid colon, causing nagging pain in the lower abdomen, 99% of the times on the left side.
Ectopic Pregnancy
This is one of the first things all doctors think of whenever a woman of child bearing age comes in with complains of lower right or lower left abdominal pain. This age bracket is from 11 to 55 or even less than that. Ectopic pregnancy usually presents as lower right or left side abdominal pain depending on which tube or side that is affected. The pain is dull to sharp, and may be associated with vaginal bleed.
This is the presence of normal womb tissue outside the womb. It could cause lower left abdominal pain, if it is on the left tube, ovary, or first part of the large bowel. Usually the pain is worse on that side with the menses. You may be able to feel a soft swelling on the affected side too. This problem is not easy to diagnose nevertheless.
Food Poisoning
After a meal in a restaurant, depending on the type of bug, left side abdominal pain could start within 1 hour to 48 hours. There would be associated feeling of vomiting or actual vomiting plus or minus fever. It could be from contamination of food with chemical gents. Please read about this cause of lower left abdominal pain here
Henoch-Schönlein-purpura
A hernia is the out pouching of the gut or part of the bowel through an abnormal opening in the wall containing it. Other structures can be found in a hernia apart from the gut. If a hernia occurs on the left side, it could lead to lower left abdominal pain and or bowel Obstruction
IBS
Irritable bowel syndrome known as IBS for short, is a disorder of the gut’s function, without any demonstrable physical or structural problem. IBS is characterized by bouts of cramping abdominal pain, bloating, gas, passing of little hard stools (sometimes looking like pellets), alternating with diarrhea. It is one of the commonest causes of lower left side abdominal pain, especially in women. Please read more on IBS here
Kidney Stone
In both men and women, this is a very common cause of pain. If the stone has traveled down the ureter on the left, it could cause a lower left abdominal pain. The pain presents as sudden onset severe pain, usually waking the sufferer up from sleep in the early hours of the morning or indeed any time, often described as the most severe pain ever, comes in waves, spreads down to the thigh lower abdomen and thigh or even the tip of the penis in the male. It is cramping, leaving the victim rolling or pacing around seeking a position of comfort. There may be associated vomiting or feeling of wanting to vomit, plus or minus passage of small frequent urine.
Kidney Infection or Pyelonephritis
Infection of the kidney on the left side could cause lower left abdominal pain too. The patient is usually unwell, may be feverish, and vomiting, with pain especially in the upper to lower abdomen, worse on gently hitting the lower back. There may be an increase in the frequency of passing urine, or pain or burning sensation when passing urine. The doctor will easily diagnose this with a few examinations and tests. The character of pain here is different from that with kidney stone, and usually, the pain does not start suddenly. It may have been on-going for some days.
Ovarian Cyst (Twist or Rupture)
The pain from ruptured ovarian cyst is usually sudden, and localized to the side of the womb where the ovary is. Pain from the ovaries usually spread towards the thighs too, and may be moderate to severe in character. It is differentiated from appendicitis by its suddenness, no fever, no change in appetite, and the patient may be rolling in pain. It is diagnosed with the aid of an ultrasound scan
Psoas Abscess
Some infection for example in the kidney could tract down to the muscle on the floor of the lower left abdomen called the psoas muscle. If pus collects there as in cases of tuberculosis, there could be swelling and lower left abdominal pain. The sufferer may lose weight, poor appetite, night sweats, and a mass may be felt in the lower left abdomen.
Rectus Sheath Haematoma
Rectus sheath haematoma occurs when one of the blood vessels from the groin that moves up to the abdomen is what is damaged. This causes blood to track under the muscle covering on the affected side of the abdomen, thus forming a mass with considerable pain. Obviously, on the left side, it would cause lower left side abdominal pain. Read more about rectus sheath haematoma here
Sigmoid volvulus
This is a cause of large bowel obstruction especially in elderly ones in nursing homes or those in long term institutions and mental homes. It results from twisting of the sigmoid part of the large bowel on itself, causing large bowel obstruction. The presenting symptoms would be sudden lower left abdominal pain, massively distended tummy and inability to open the bowel. The diagnosis is often made following an X-ray examination. You could read more on this condition here
Transverse colon volvulus
Volvulus involving the transverse colon could present as left abdominal pain. It is often dramatic in onset, and would cause symptoms like those of intestinal obstruction. This is though a rare cause of intestinal obstruction, and in very fatal. Please read about this cause of lower left abdominal pain here
Trapped Wind
Excess wind or trapped wind in the large bowel or stomach can cause lower or even upper left abdominal pain respectively. The symptoms would include feeling well, but bloated, cramping abdominal pain, loud bowel noises, and this bloating and pain is relieved by passing wind from the anus (farting). Please read more about this common cause of left sided abdominal pain here
Leaking or ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm arises if the large blood vessel called the aorta that carries blood away from the heart become distended along its course in the abdomen and then starts to leak or even ruptures with or without warning. Ordinarily, this causes severecentral abdominal pain, which typically spreads to the back. Patient may collapse suddenly, and become pale, cold and blood pressure drops. On occasions, the pain may be felt more to the left of the abdomen, thus causing lower left abdominal pain.
Cancer affecting the left side of the bowel could cause left side abdominal pain.

This is one of the first things all doctors think of whenever a woman of child bearing age comes in with complains of lower right or lower left abdominal pain. This age bracket is from 11 to 55 or even less than that. Ectopic pregnancy usually presents as lower right or left side abdominal pain depending on which tube or side that is affected. The pain is dull to sharp, and may be associated with vaginal bleed.
The woman may not even know that she is pregnant, as this tends to occur very early within the first ten weeks, after the last menses. There may be dizziness, shoulder tip pain, and weakness. Ectopic pregnancy is a very serious emergency.
It is due to pregnancy staying in any other place apart from in the womb, though commonly in one of the tubes. If this ruptures as the fetus grows, it could lead to massive blood loss and is potentially life threatening. If you have lower right or left sided abdominal pain, plus or minus dizziness, plus or minus vaginal bleed, please speak to your doctors as a matter of urgency.

Ok, I'll advise my problem and what it finally was.
Had off/on again in my lower left abdomen area for a few weeks at first. The location feels like it is GI tract related. I would pin point it as left of belly button by 3 inches and down 1 inch (I'm 5'6 155lbs). It always happened at night around 2-3 in the morning and the only way I could sleep was by going out on the couch and sleep sitting up.
It went away for a few months then came back with a vengeance. Every night for 4-5 months constant pain, some very severe. During the initial attacks a few months prior I asked my doc about it with a yearly physical. He asked about stress and diet. Stress was a bit high and the diet is high in milk (chocolate milk/protein/fiber shake in the morning and ice cream at night). He didn't think it was lactose because he advised that it takes from a few minutes to 2 hours to have issues with milk and since this was happening late at night, he didn't think it would be milk. He asked what I wanted to do and I advised nothing as it seemed to be going away and not very frequent at this time.
Once it did come back the second time and it started happening in the day time I saw a GI doctor. He was perplexed at the late night cramps and thought maybe I was getting to much fiber. Offered a colonoscopy, which I did...so much fun! Nothing abnormal. Had a CT scan with dye contrast, normal. Went back to family doc and he put me on meds for IBS. Zantec and something for muscle spasms. Didn't really help.
Pain was becoming more frequent, no longer just at night and more severe. Finally my wife and I went back to milk. Cut out regular milk, went to lactose free and started using lactade pills. Poof. No more pain.
Everything that I read online says effects from lactose intolerance should happen very fast up to 2 hours. So we didn't put 2 and 2 together because I would have ice cream at 7-8 at night, be in bed by 9 then having pains around 2. But sure enough. Now if I start having pains I look the ingredients of what I just ate and sure enough it will contain some milk. I just take the OTC lactade pills. However, if I want something with milk and take the lactade pills, if it is heavy enough I'll still get gas/pains in my lower GI track but not as bad. One time I had cheese cake at work not realizing it had heavy cream in it (i'm not a cook) and I was doubled over for 2 hours until my wife asked what I ate at work (I didn't want to say...haha).
Just FYI-lactose intolerance doesn't always follow the pattern of what you read on the internet. Cut out milk for a week and see if it gets better. It's cheaper to rule out this option first...trust me!
Good luck

Dan, I have the same gluttony problem... In my family, heavy eating was very much encouraged and now, i believe this is the cause of my stomach problems (I am not overweight, either... i am 5'6 and 110 pounds).... I have has extremely intense stomach pains once every few months (always at night) over the course of the last four years (it started at the age of 12 and I am now 16). I, too, have back problems (I have lower back scoliosis, but only 8 degrees, so it's not a big problem).
Also, i dont know if this is related, but when I was 12, I had excruciating stomach pains during the day (very strong attack) in the lower right quadrant of my abdomen (where the appendix is). I have all symptoms of an appendicitis, so we rushed to the ER.. When we got there, they took a white blood cell count and they were through the roof (which is normal during an appendicitis attack because the white blood cells are trying to fight off all the toxins).. They drowned me in a non-stop stream of morphine to ease the pain and were going to take out my appendix. I dont know what happened after that, but as i began to regain consciousness, they had taken a ct scan (i think thats what it was) and found out that my appendix was perfectly intact. There was no rupture whatsoever. After about 8 hours, I was beginning to feel a little bit better and the nurses were convinced i had been faking the whole time. I was infuriated. How could i fake my white blood cell count, then??
anyway, when I got back to my personal physician, he was livid as well. He couldnt believe that they didn't just take out my appendix right then and there. He sent me to every gastrointestinologist in town, but none could figure out what was wrong.. now, I have the same extreme pain once every few months (always at night) where I find myself writhing in pain, but a few hours later, it goes away like nothing happened.
I currently dont have health insurance so I dont want to make my parents take me to the hospital.. i try not to tell them when It is happening, because i know my mom will want to take me, but it costs 16,000 dollars a night at the hospital. i cant afford it

Wow I thought maybe I was going crazy!! I had a partial hysterectomy for adenomiosis in hope the cramping was coming from that but the doctor informed me that while it was causing problems that wasnt the key to this pain. He said he explored around and nothing looked negative anywhere in that area. So I still have this pain!! My husband is a little freaked wondering why I just went through major surgery. The doctor said something about some pain receptors being continuously fired but I'm just not sure. I'm tired, hurting and desperate for answers. Sorry to hear each of you is in pain as well but glad I'm not losing my mind or being a wimp.

So I have had the same symptoms you are all explaining and a few years ago was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis.
Ask you doctor to do HLAB27 test if it comes back positive you may have it.
If it comes back negative you do not. The HLAB27 is a gene and you can only have AS if you have this gene.
Unfortunately there is not alot you can do for AS other than staying active and there are foods to stay away from starch sugar and a few others.
I'm sorry if this is what you have it's a long road for life but does go in phases, I have been good not great for a few years and recently after a vacation of eating what I want am back in a bad phase. Hoping to be out soon, lack of sleep is rough with 2 kids and 2 jobs!

My daughter has pinworms. I started having cramps about 1-2 weeks ago after my last period. Of course I just thought that was the reason for cramping. But it continues nightly, starting around 11 pm. Ibuprofen does the trick for me. But I'm tired of the pain, took the pinworm med tonight (got it OTC at pharmacy.) Going to see if this works, and will let you know.

Hi all,
Like everyone else I have had the same symptoms.
After trying a lot of the suggestions on this site with varying success I decided to go to see a doc.
After describing the symptoms he believes it stomach related.
He told me to try tablets called Inner Health Plus ( Australia) good for digesting food
Have been taking them now for the last 2 weeks and have noticed a marked improvement.My pain has dropped by about 75 percent.
I haven't had to sit up during the night for about 10 nights.
Tablets may be called something different in other country's.
Please give them a try.Has made a big difference to me.

maybe endometriosis or/and adhesions as I have these symptoms, adhesions can tether pelvic organs together depends how dense they are, prolapse can possibly cause these symptoms - I have Diverculitis Disease and Hernia also picked up on CT scan. When bladder and bowel full if you have lesions (small burn type marks where inflammation has been) scar tissue can form and stick to other structures like bowel and bladder, have you had surgery in the past as this can trigger them!
I wake in pain every single night though some worse than others relieved a bit by going to the loo and low back pain, it burns in my pelvis/stomach and bowel and I usually manage to sleep a little bit more once ive been but wake exhausted from poor sleep. Like I said to others every case can be different but needs to be explored through Gp in form of CT scan, ultrasound or keyhole surgery once other medication has failed. I find walking around upright helps and symptoms lessen, cannot bear tight waistbands and hurts after food mine is probably mostly adhesions linked to endo and Diverculitis Disease possibly made worse by prolapse.
Hysterectomy is my next step but trying to sit it out to see if menopause reduces pain as oestrogen feeds endo. Its a guessing game but needs process of elimation by referral to digestive specialists/bowel and gyne.

Hi. I have the same problem and have tracked it to my large intestine and the possibility of diverticulitis. I notice when I get up during a bout of pain in my lower left side, the pain is immediately relieved on the breaking of wind and a massaging of the inflamed area ( lower left gut ). I agree also that a bacteria may be the cause and have tried colloidal silver and IT WORKS.

Hi, I have had this problem for over 10 years, it's sole destroying and caused me all sorts of problems, making me depressed, angry, anxious due to the lack of sleep and comfort. every time i went to the doctor i was given omeprazol, lomeprazol etc etc and never did i notice any change or relief, alwayas the same agonizing pain mostly at night, as i often had it during the day too.
However one day I went to my bed early in order to get up early. so i went to bed knowing i had this pain to deal with, like everynight. my girlfriend at the time was going through some personal problems and had been to the doctor and had a selection of different medicines. so when she come to bed and noticed i was still awake she offered me a tablet which was called Zopiclone, these are mild sleeping tablets that are more of a muscle relaxant. I took the tablet with a drink of water. 20 mins later i could feel movment and some noise coming from my gut. this continued for 3-4 mins then i broke wind (above and below) and just like that the pain was away!!!! i did not feel like sleeping any more i felt like jumping for joy, but i stayed in bed and did have a good long un-broken sleep. the next night the pain was back and i took another tablet, like the night before a rumbling sensation then wind an the pain was gone. i know it sounds like trapped wind and it often felt like it to but I have tried every medicine on the market for such like pains and found nothing but fancy boxes and packets which contents are usless.
so because in the UK zopiclone are a prescription drug, i went to my doctor and told her, without hesitance she prescibed me them and told me i must have a nervous problem/condition, but nothing else come of that and i kept gettin a repeat prescription.
i live in spain now and i can buy zopiclone which are called limovan here, but just want so say that even here in spain where everything i eat is healthy mostly fruit and veg and at night in my bed if i dont have a tablet i am in for a long painfull night like i had only the other night when i had ran out, i'd just like to ad that my life and personality has changed for the good now i have pain free nights and a decent sleep,
now if any one out there is dealing with the torture i had, please ask your doctor about those tablets and let me know how you get on.

i live in spain now and i can buy zopiclone which are called limovan here, but just want so say that even here in spain where everything i eat is healthy mostly fruit and veg and at night in my bed if i dont have a tablet i am in for a long painfull night like i had only the other night when i had ran out, i'd just like to ad that my life and personality has changed for the good now i have pain free nights and a decent sleep,
now if any one out there is dealing with the torture i had, please ask your doctor about those tablets and let me know how you get on.
