Eval needed: This constellation of symptoms would require an evaluation &amp; diagnosis before a treatment plan can be recommended.

Question 3

pain left side of stomach but feels like gas because its moving also noticed spots of blood on tissue?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: Bleeding from any orifice needs to be evaluated. It may be as simple as hemorrhoids, however, bleeding from hemorrhoids can make you anemic. It would be prudent to see your doctor for an examination.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 4

sudden sharp pain left side under ribs. worse with deep breath. it feels like gas but have burped and no relief. not a constant pain.

Accepted Answer

Get examined: may be just gas trapped in the splenic flexure of the intestine( splenic flexure syndrome ) which will be relieved with OTC Gas-X or Phazyme; however, these could be a lung issue and deserves examination and evaluation.

Question 5

Question 6

lower abdomen pain left side and gases?

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 7

sharp pain, left side of back, mid section. pain is getting worse. no paineds taken yet. could it be a pinched  nerve?

Accepted Answer

Nerve Impingement: can be caused by nerve being sandwiched between two spinal bones in the neck area. It can cause muscle spasm and pain in the neck. This condition must be professionally managed. See an interventional pain management specialist for definitive diagnosis and management.

Question 8

pain left side of back above waist?

Accepted Answer

Kidneys?: The region you describe is the left kidney.  If were a kidney stone you would likely have commented on a very intense pain.  Fever and feeling sick would be aroused by kidney infection.  Again the pain can be severe and induce an er visit.  You probably have a back muscle strain and spasm.

Question 9

stabbing pain left side of my back just under the shoulder blade only when i lay down ?

Accepted Answer

Possibilities..: "stabbing" pain sounds pretty severe. So, my threshold for asking you to see an md is  low. That said, structures around/near the area you describe are: muscles (small, easy-to-injure ones), bone, small ligaments, lung (pain "referred" to the surface from deeper structures), blood vessels (unlikely pain source), and nerves (originating from the neck area and innervating muscles you describe).

Question 10

sharp pain left side back mid back under shoulder blade?

Accepted Answer

More info: There are many things that can give you those symptoms. When do you get pain? What type? How long does it last? Anything make it better? Anything make it worse? Does food affect the pain? Have you had any surgery ? How long has it been there? Have you tried any medications? Did they work? Did you injure yourself? Pulled muscle etc? Has anyone done any studies? Worse with stress?
