Q: nagging ache in my lower left side, thought a cramp but i've been feeling it all day. i feel it when i walk mostly. what could this be?

: It is likely a muscular or hip joint strain, especially if the pain eases when you lie down. Take Ibuprofen 200 mg x 2 with foods every 6 hours as needed for a day or two. If pain does not resolve or improve next 24 hours, you can see a doctor by then.
