A member asked:
Terrible pain in my left side. sore to move or anything. i can feel a knot or swollen more behind my ribs. could i have a pulled muscle?

Be seen: If you are in severe pain, I would certainly be seen. It would seem that if you had simply "pulled a muscle" you would have known immediately when you did it. More likely considerations would include pancreatitis, kidney stone, kidney infection nog other possibilities. Be seen for an accurate diagnosis.
