Over the past couple of days I've been feeling pain in my left side ( I'm a male by the way ). I haven't been in any accident lately and I haven't fallen or anything like that ( Unless I've forget ). I have trouble physically getting up from the laying down position, I have a tough time laying down on my left side. Can anyone give me an idea of what can be going on?
I also have a persistent pain in the lower left back side. It has gone on for two years now. The symptoms are very similar to yours. I thought I had damaged a kidney. I had taken a bad twisting fall. I am a 61 year old male and somewhat frail. I talked with my general practitioner. She said that it likely not kidney related. Still you would not think that it would go off and on this long. It does seem to worsen when I strain the area. For example, if I land funny stepping down too quickly off a curb.
