A member asked:
If my ongoing left sided abdominal, side, and back pain gets worse after a bowel movement is that a problem in the colon?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Checkup: Left sided abdominal and side pain that worsens after a bm does suggest colon problems. It could be muscular, but you should have this checked by your pcp who would arrange proper tests.
