Having Severe Pain In Left Abdomen. Concerned?

I just finished a 5 day bout with diarrhea . Ran blood tests, took stool sample. Everything came back normal or negative. Now, one day later, I am having severe pain in my left abdomen. When I saw a Dr. last Friday, she asked if I had pain in lower left abdomen .. At that time, I did not. What might she have been looking for? I m due to leave on a 9 hour road trip tomorrow and am concerned about what might be developing. Any ideas?

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
I would come up with these possibilities for such type of pain in abdomen , these includes.
1 Renal stone , diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound both kidneys ( including ultrasound of ureter, urinary bladder ).
2 Hyper acidity ( gastritis ) , diagnosis can be confirmed upper G I endoscopy .Usually after diarrhea patient develops gastritis . Physical as clinical history is also important in such type of cases.
3 Amoebic colitis , diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination as colon found palpable .
In my opinion consult a physician and get his opinion about left renal colic .
Good luck. Dr. HET
