What Causes Abdominal Pain On The Left Side?
I have been having pain in my abdomen on my left side. It occurs only when seated. I have no other symptoms, but this has been going on for months. Previously, I have had kidney stones but have managed them by taking potassium citrate. I also have pain in my lower left back at times and have trouble sleeping on that side. My doctor believes it is muscular. I can still walk and jog without any trouble. Years ago I was diagnosed with a hyena but was told that people live with it without difficulty. I only feel pain with it if I over do it lifting.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, you have typical symptoms I have seen in some patients. Please undergo hernia evaluation by a surgeon or local primary doctor. I will also suggest you to undergo ultrasound Doppler to detect testicular pathology in epididymis or varicocele. I am sure, you will get diagnosis.
I hope I have solved your query. Let me know if I can assist you further in this query.
