A member asked:

Sharp stabbing pain left side. seems constant with flare ups where gets worse. no appendix/gall. do have bad back (hern, syringomyelia). what is it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Back/ flank pain: as you have back problem it very well could be related to that. If it is knew and bad enough have yourself examined to rule out colon problem or even excessive gas can cause sharp pain
