A member asked:

I have a horrible stabbing pain on my lower left side and it goes to my lower back. what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Abdominal pain: It is hard to say without an examination. I would favor the possible diagnosis of a kidney stone or ovarian cyst. If this has gone on for some time i would suggest seeing my pcp or gyn.

I have a very sharp, stabbing pain in my lower back, mostly on the right side, that radiates up. There are times when it's on the left side. Some mornings, IF I can get out of bed, I am literally bent in half. BTW, the doctor knows! ?

Help! I have a sharp stabbing pain in the right side of my lower left back. It happened mostly when I bend over but sometimes when I twist and when I sit down it feels like a mild pressure. I also feel a bit of pain when I walk especially up stairs.
