What Causes Pain On Left Side Of Abdomen?

Left side hurts a lot more then my right most of the time. Right side hurts but it s worse on my left. Hurts bad in mornings daily to where I have trouble straightening up n standing. After being up n moving around then it s like a tight feeling that s achey. It doesn t feel like a pulled lower back though. It s more kinda closer to my ribs. I put pressure or rub on it during day just to have little different feeling. I m a 44yr old female. I ve taken ib800 and Epsom salt baths to try to ease pain but does work very long. I wish I knew what this could be.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of pain on the left side more than the right, is more in the morning and have trouble straightening up and standing in the morning.
You are already taking Ibuprofen 800 and Epson salt bath.

This is most probably due to disc problem in the back causing abdominal wall problem.
I would advise you to consult an Orthopedic Surgeon for clinical evaluation, further investigations and treatment.
Till then take a bed rest, do not lift weight , see that there is no constipation.
I hope this answer helps you.
