Accepted Answer

Pain: The ultrasound finding for the baby is unrelated to your pain. The pain you describe is most likely round ligament pain and is a direct result from how you are moving. Abrupt and careless movements with cause pain in your groin that is excruciating. Heating pads help, Tylenol (acetaminophen) too. Pay close attention  to how you move, sit, stand, get in and out of a car or a chair, to avoid further problems.

Question 7

feeling a little pressure in left side of abdomen, usually occurs when i lay on right side?

Accepted Answer

Exam needed: This is a nonspecific symptom and more information about the discomfort is needed. This is an area where muscle, spleen and intestines are present. A physician will take a thorough history, perform a physical examination and order any appropriate tests in order to make a diagnosis.

Question 8

ive been feeling this pulse in the left side of my abdomen for a little while now, i cant really feel it when im standing up only when im sitting or laying down. it doesnt cause me any pain but its starting to freak me out. any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

Aorta: The abdominal portion of the aorta is very large artery, and often its pulsations  are often palpable by healthy slender people. If the pulsation feels very strong, A physician would check for an aneurysm and also check to make sure your blood pressure is not elevated. An ultrasound study can be done if your MD feels is advisable to determine the status of the aorta. My guess is you're OK.

Question 9

was lifting a heavy box onto another box vertically & to the right. felt momentary left side abdominal pain for 0.5 sec. any chance internal injury?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Most likely an abdominal muscle strain as it occurred with lifting.  If you can reproduce the pain by stretching that area or with flexing of those muscles, it is a likely a muscle strain.  The one organ on the left side of your abdomen that is a concern for internal injury is your spleen, but that occurs with trauma  to the spleen, not with just lifting.  If nausea, fever, vomiting, see MD.

Question 10

pain on left side abdomen under rib when sitting when i lay flat it goes away?

Accepted Answer

Position: Any pain related to position sounds like musculo-skeletal in origin, not visceral.  So you might want to try looser clothing, change chair position, that sort of thing.  Area under the left rib cage means area of stomach, pancreas, spleen, diaphragm, so if it persists, these things need to be looked at.  Also, it could be atypical angina, pain from heart muscle not getting enough oxygen.
