Hi,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.
Depending on your age, the pain you feel on left side of your belly might be due to:
- ovulation cramps (if you are female)
- urinary tract infection (both genders)
- colitis (both genders)
As the pain is extremely sharp and severe and get repeated, I highly recommend to go to ER and get immediate evaluation and treatment there.
Abdominal ultrasound is required immediately.
Hope it helped!
