Discomfort in lower left abdomen

"Newbie" to site/dicussions.. Not great @ navigation yet. Hope you "bear" with me.. Trying to get to certain posts/replies. I've been struggling w/ undiagnosed pain for 25 yrs . Am I totally disgusted with drs. & the level of empathy? HELL, yeah.. There is biased opinions w/ relationships/diagnosis w/ women? Absolutely. I am being treated as well as a male. With women, many symptoms/illnesses are attributed to our gender. I know this will not help anyone w/ a diagnosis, but facts are facts. I multiple symptoms: lower abdominal pain, pancreatitis.. severe muscle & joint pain. Most recently hair loss. This has an on-going process. Sick & tired is an understatement. Fibromyalgia is being "the catch-all".. Live in RI, one of the worst rated healthcare states. Guess what? It's not in my head & stress is not the "cause". Pain management here just means "cortsone" shots. Sick to death of trying to diagnose myself. If hair loss were do to "stress"; i would be bald by now. Not 1 dr. has addressed my blod work. I was told I was anemic; however, no follow ups or recommendations. 95% of drs. are either incompent, never mind the "$" aspect. That "Degree# you see on their walls could me.an they grzduated; however, they could have graduated last on the list. Remember "school"? Well, getting a "D" would allow you to pass. Insurance & other factors are huge factors in your care. Doctors have to adhere to many polcies & most have a patient/doctor regulation which requires how much time is taken w/ EVERY patient. Also, most drs. overbook & see 30+ patients per day. Will you get the proper diagnosis& or care you deserve? Highly unlikey. I have a medical background & if you find a dr. who defies these "regulations" consiider yourself either "blessed" or truly "lucky". God Bless you & your physician. Good luck to all of you & no matter how difficult it becomes for you-- NEVER give up & if you are not being treated as a human being & your dr. Cannot wait to get you out of the office, I hope you will find a more compassionate & dedicated physician.

I'm a 32 year old male and I felt this pain last night in bed when on my side, either side. It was worse on my left side and as I sit here and read your posts. I'd love to know what the outcomes were of all of you. I'm expecting my first child so I need to be there for him if these pains are life threatning. I've always peed blood in every urine test I have ever taken since I was a child and have never seen a DR for this problem. In my experiances DRs are a waste of time and money. They never find whats wrong with me just like what I'm reading from you guys and gals. Makes me tired and weary!

Worst lower abdominal pain ever near incision from tummy tuck 5 months ago. It just started about a month and a half ago. Ultra sound didnt show anything. PS said go to OB. OB said go to GP, GP sent me to GenSurgeon. I am so frustrated and in pain. I had recovered and was running 4 miles a day. Any suggestions??

I had exactly the same symptoms - teh doctors know jack sh*t - even if you go to a specialist they will not know. For sure Diverticulosis is possible - but really that is a more constant pain and usually pass blood. The problem area is the colon specifically around hartman's pouch - to rid your self of this pain - an irritation of the colon through all the sh*t chemicals in our food and moreover the heavier metals in the air from chemtrails (barium and alluminium) and alluminium drinks cans, you need to actually vibrate the area with a tuning fork. The frequency required is 176 hz (F) - the sh*t will come out through waste - you may vomit immediately after 5 minute first session or even during.  Take Cranberry juice and mint tea, decrease milk, bread, salt and alcohol intake. Keep tuning the problem area with the frequency - it will go within a month max - daily tuning for 10 minutes or so. Doctors only know how to chop you up. Be well :-))

What's a tuning fork?

get your PROSTATE checked out!

very common issue is male's 35 and up..  see also P.I.D.

Im pissed if i know... im completely in the dark as with all you guys.. though still really worried...

I have pretty much the same lower left ab discomfort for over a year. Had CT scan show nothing. Had a colonoscopy found some pulups and diverticulitis. This was 1 year ago and I still have the discomfort. I was told take fiber supllements lots of fiber. Not working. I am going for yearly check up next week and will see what the Doctor has to say.

did you ever find out what it was because i too have a lower left abdomen pain/pressure and im afraid it my be my liver.

Just curious as to how this resolved....I am experiencing the same discomfort. I notice it most when I sit at my desk at work or at home. Doesn't really "hurt", just feels funny lol.

Do you have Celiac Disease? Worth looking into. I've had similar pains, had a colonoscopy and have been to doctor's several times, to which, I am avoiding grains and doing MUCH better. Like I said, check it out and God bless.

I to have had the same pains . I've had 1 CT scan , 1 ultra sound , 2 blood test , 2 urine test . I've had all my test go through my family doctor also passed by a surgen "for other complications". Finally 4 days ago i left work to get another opinion through another doctor , he told me too look at my test i'm 37 yrs old and fit as a fiddle . 

I had this and it went away. I noticed this same weird feel just as I started taking "Liver Cleanse", a detoxing supplement I found on Amazon. At first, I just SLOWED DOWN my intake, then, per my doc's instructions, I stopped taking it altogether to see what would happen. The "discomfort" has completely gone away :)

Im a 29 year old male and had the same exact issues as the original poster. I went to the Doctors just now and its thought to be diverticulitis. I was given antibiotics and told to try and eat softer foods. hope this helps anyone.

Drove myself to a different hospital . Doctor there done an x-ray on my stomach . Told me i was blocked up in my intestines . Told me to take a laxative called Pico Salix . So fare i've been feeling better .
