What Causes Frequent Pain On The Left Side Of The Body?
Every night and it s been going on for a while now. My left side hurts real bad, I can t even lay on it and the pain goes into my back. Also it hurts sometimes when I get up in the morning. I went to the doctor and he gave me muscle relaxers but they don t even help so I stopped taking them. I know it s more than a pulled muscle or muscle spasm. Please I need to know what to do and could this be something serious.

Hello,
I do not think it's something serious. It sounds like a pulled muscle. To rest assured should run x-ray of the spinal cord (sections C-T-L) and the chest.
Abdominal ultrasound to rule out internal organs problems.
Take analgesic medications and magnesium supplement.
Do follow up with orthopedic doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
