Question 4

i have colon pain.  no bloody stool, no diarrhea, just like an ache and some sharp pain here and there, mostly left side.  what could it be?

Accepted Answer

See GI or colorectal: There can be several causes of localized left sided pain, including colonic reasons, but also urinary causes such as a kidney stone.  Unless you have had an evaluation such as colonoscopy, one cannot eliminate causes such as colitis or inflammatory bowel disease.  Diverticulitis can cause localized symptoms.  In addition, once these are ruled out, irritable bowel disorders can also lead to spasm.

Assessment needed: Let your doc know. Based on duration and intensity of symptoms it needs a full medical assessment. From inflammatory bowel disease to infectious colitis, a variety of conditions may account for your symptoms. The sooner you get evaluated, the better. In order to avoid ER, best chance will be through your GP/PCP.
