Question 2

Accepted Answer

Need an exam: Pain with eating and drinking anything is never normal. 
You need to be evaluated and to make sure you are not dehydrated.  Don't delay looking to diagnose yourself.

Question 3

why am i having sharp pain left side of stomach near belly button?

Accepted Answer

Need more info!: Abdominal pain can be an emergency to a mild problem. Let's begin by seeing your primary care doctor. I can't even recommend otc meds because: i don't know enough about your symptoms; i don't know if you have tried anything. The shortcut. See your doc. If you have none- a walk in clinic! but one thing. Pain near the belly button suggests a small intestinal cause!

Question 4

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 6

my 14 yr old son gets daily heartburn no matter what he eats. normal upper and lower gi scope. slight pain left side of stomach when applying pressur?

Accepted Answer

Possible stress.: Since you mentioned he had a normal upper and lower GI scope, he must be seeing a gastroenterologist. Is he on any medication? Did he get tested for bacteria during the endoscopy? Stress is one of the most common causes of this symptom, which is from excess acid production. I would recommend that you discuss this again with his doctor.

Question 7

pain left side of stomach near ribs with nausea. feels bruised like dull pain and shoots down left side. have it for two days now?

Accepted Answer

Left sided pain: Any urinary symptoms or fever?   Left sided flank pain may be a sign of a kidney stone (depends on your age)  or possibly a kidney infection.   Have you noticed any issues with your urine - darker or blood?    If so - could be the infection or stone.   Initially i would push fluids.  If no improvement - probably best to see your doctor.

Question 8

mild pain left side of stomach feels like lump above belly button and nasuea after eating anything. had catscan from knees to throat doc sad all clear?

Accepted Answer

All clear means that: The serious or dangerous conditions are not causing your symptoms.  Keep tracking your symptoms to look for any specific (food) triggers... If this is anything that requires treatment, it will eventually declare itself (show up)  wishing you well.

Question 9

i have unexplained pelvic pain left side when stomach is gasy/ bobbly i feel bobbles rise and travel and go over pubis & hip lying down only left side

Accepted Answer

Take some tylenol (acetaminophen): take some tylenol (acetaminophen) / ibuprofen for pain relief. If it persists for days, talk to your doctor for further evaluation.

Best wishes
