Hi ! Now that you have finished the course of antibiotics, the chances of infection can be excluded. If the ultrasound scan has not yielded any result, then you can discuss with your doctor regarding a CT scan of the abdomen, which might show a few patholgical conditions like diverticulitis or an internal hernia which the ultrasound scan might not be able to detect. WIshing you an early recovery.

Hi ! At times ultrasound scan can not detect few pathological conditions like an internal hernia (example: obturator hernia) which though very infrequent may give rise to such symptoms. I would suggest you to get yourself reviewed by your treating physician and discuss with him for a CT scan of abdomen, which may show some undiagnosed pathology. WIsh you good luck.

Hi welcome to Healthc are magic forum.
Thanks for calling H.C.M.Forum.
You had pain in the left lower abdomen, it is going down to the theigh. US showing no cysts, or fibroids. metronidazole and cipro didn't get down the pain.
The pattern of pain is typical to the urinary tract infection, or a stone in the uriter near to the bladder.
I advise you to consult a urologist for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have an MRI, besides other routine tests for confirmation.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
Best regards.
