A member asked:

Im having real sharp pains on my left lower stomach when i take a deep breath . what could this be ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pain: Pain in the lower abdomen when you take a deep breath suggests a serious amount of inflammation. If you notice that it also hurts when you cough or step hard on the ground or you are hyperaware of bumps in the road in your car it is past time to get to your MD and check it out.
