Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Pain the left lower side of abdomen could be due to stones in the kidney stones and not due to gall stones. This is because gall bladder is present below the liver on the right side of abdomen.
Kindly get an ultrasound abdomen done to know weather there is presence of kidney stones.
Kindly consult Urologist with report for appropriate evaluation and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
