A member asked:

Sometimes when i stand up i will have a sharp shoot pain in my lower abdomen on the left side. as far as i know i am not pregnant. what could cause it?

Many thoughts: First you need to give a thorough history. For example. Did you have any trauma to the area or get injured? Any other symptoms. Any fever??? How long has this been going on? You need to give more information. Set an appointment if you like
