A member asked:
I have a sharp jabbing pain in my left side towards my back, when i push on it it feels like a bruise but more internal. is it an organ, or a strain?

Flank Pain: Could be either muscle strain or internal. Depends on what incidents preceded the pain. Trauma? physical activity? Problems with constipation? Possible kidney issues? So this is probably a "go see a doctor" problem if it is extremely uncomfortable or lasts for days.
