Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Pain that severe needs to be worked up by your doctor in person.  He/she will listen to you, perform an examination and possibly order some tests to see what's wrong with you.

is it likely to be appendicitis or should i wait/see b4 er visit?

Accepted Answer

Better get seen: By your doctor or go to ER, rather than wait on it, good luck

Question 3

mild, intermittent pain on right side of waist. feels like it's lower back pain, but when the area below the front rib cage was pressed, it feels tender

Accepted Answer

Ribcage pain: This may be due to hurting ribs. Costochondritis (inflammation around ribcage joints) can cause this.

Question 4

having peripheral neuropathy on right side waist area with a slight bulge. very painful. had kyphoplasty on 10/04. bulge is not gastrointestinal or hernia or gallbladder. what can it be? neurosurgeon isn't helpful?

Accepted Answer

: The tender bulge has nothing to do with peripheral neuropathy, I think. If you had been examined by a doctor and the mentioned problems were ruled out, you need to have either ultrasound or CT for further evaluation. A tender mass is somewhat consistent with an abscess but neurosurgeon should easily recognize it.

Question 5

what can cause pain in my left side (waist area)?

Accepted Answer

More info needed....: Your one symptom (pain) can be caused by so many things, it is next to impossible to diagnose without more info. Could be gas, could be a kidney stone, could be blockage. The internet does not replace your local physician.. Please call for an appointment and a full examination.

Question 6

i have a pain in my left waist area. it started on the right side 2 days ago and has made it's way to the left. what could cause this?

Accepted Answer

Abdominal discomfort: This discomfort may be muscular or be due to an inflammatory process within the abdomen. Possibilities include appendicitis, right and/or left sided diverticulitis or inflammatory bowel disease. Is there any tenderness on pressing portions of the abdomen? Any bowel or digestive disturbances? If symptoms persist, you will need to be examined by a physician and if symptoms are severe,go to the ER.

Question 7

feeling slight pain in left side waist area (since 2 days) when i get up from a sitting position. goes away on its own. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

No: no unless it is associated with other symptoms like fever ,chills ,anorexia, and vomiting .if pain persisted or becomes worst see a doctor.

Question 8

i am having pain on both of my sides in the waist area. it has happened before. lasted several weeks and went away. now it's back. negative for stones?

Accepted Answer

Muscle strain : May be a muscle strain of your flank muscles. This would be exacerbated by movement, particularly when doing a crunch, or twisting your body. If your concerned, see your primary care provider. Doesn't sound like its urgent. Hope this helps!

Question 9

i have a pain on my left side back of my waist and travels to the groin area?

Accepted Answer
