Accepted Answer

LLQ discomfort: Causes of recurrent llq abdominal discomfort may be identified by first addressing accompanying signs/symptoms so as to localize the organ involved: vaginal discharge or bleeding, alteration in periods, pregnancy risk? Fever, nausea, vomiting, altered stool pattern, blood with stool, tenderness, distension? Painful urination, blood in urine? Recent trauma, herniations? Age? Gender? Risk factors?

Question 2

constant severe abdominal pain, left side. worse with movement. any ideas?

Accepted Answer

Sounds urgent: I'm not sure how long this has been going on, but if it's been less than a a week, you should go to an emergency room asap. Even at age 33, diverticulitis is a possibility, as is a tubo-ovarian abscess. If it has present for more than a week, you may be able to sort it out as an outpatient, but don't wait. If primary care not available, go to the ER. Hope this helps!

Question 3

after eating, i experience left side abdominal pain, left side back pain, and severe headches. any ideas of the cause?

Accepted Answer

Common Stomache Pain: The most common causes of stomach pain in otherwise healthy adults are not usually serious.  You should see your doctor for further testing if you have any of the following symptoms: severe or extre pain, vomiting that will not stop, vomiting blood, if you are losing weight or have no appetite, if you have dark-colored stool or blood in your stool or if you have pain or difficulty with swallowing

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Enlarged spleen: left upper back side pain maybe an indication of enlarged spleen, maybe due to viral illness such as mono, or possibly related to muscle injury or spasm. You also taking blood thinners, so yo are prone to splenic hemorrhage, you may need an ultrasound or ct scan to evaluate spleen

Question 5

diagnosed recently cll stage 0 but just started having abdominal pain left side, feeling bloated. wbc 13, 000. will i need chemo if nodes in abdomen?

Accepted Answer

Here's an idea: Today, it's customary to subtype cll by its genetic markers. It's actually about a dozen different diseases, some aggressive, some not. I'll bet that your hematologist has already done this, and your tumor mutation / translocation profile will be more helpful as a guide to treatment. Whether your spleen is big or not is much less of a factor than other parameters.

Accepted Answer

Severe Pain --&gt; ER: Many causes of such pain:

Question 9

1 week ago i had a bloody stool, difficulty with bowel movements since.  minor pain left side of lower abdomen.  also, a vibrator was inserted in rectum during sex?  how concerned should i be?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Without being able to exam it is difficult to answer. However you did have a object inserted and this can cause a tear at the anal sphincter. This causes pain when having a BM. The pain makes it so you do not have a full BM which causes constipation, causing lower abdominal pain. 
Please see a doctor for a detailed exam to make sure there is no other cause.

Accepted Answer

Pain: Kidney stone, diverticulits or ovarian problem would be high on  the list for consideration.
