Pain left abdomen: Abdominal pains need to be evaluated by a physician more so if they are persisting for more than a few days and are associated with any other symptoms. Pain getting better on touch may be musculoskeletal pain in this location. However, causes of abdominal pain can range from trivial to serious and need to be evaluated by a physician.
