How Can Severe Pain In The Lower Abdomen On The Left Side Be Treated?

I’ve had a pain in my lower left abdominal area that has been causing me pain which can be sharp at times for 4 weeks now. CT scan showed I did not have diverticulitis, blood work showed nothing. I had a colonoscopy and the Dr. is giving me medication for Diverticulosis. It does not seem to be helping at all. I am a woman 64 years old. Where do I go from here?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The presentation of narrated symptoms suggest that there can be possible gravels in the urinary system, ligament stretch/others (which are not detectable by CT scan).

I would recommend to consult personally as it requires thorough history, physical examination to come to a definite diagnostic clue.

Thanks.

Take care.
