What Do Sharp Left Sided Abdominal Pain And Dark Bowel Movement Indicate?

I have been having sharp, stabbing pains in left abdomen. Also, stool very dark and has an awful, unusual odor. Get fatiqued. Had diarrhea and vomited this past Sunday night; now Thursday night. Have had very shakey (trembly) hands and a couple months ago had a very bad pain shoot in the back of my head. Eyes are now very dry and sometimes hurt. I do have Type 2 diabetes and have 2 heart stents and have 2 blockages at 65 and 75 percent. Feet and legs swell badly sometimes. In the last year, I have had several bouts of diarrhea, but also constipation, and nausea. Added to that, I have had kidney infection and urinary tract infection. Can you please identify my problems asap.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Dark stools could indicate presence of blood in your stools so please get a stool analysis to either confirm or exclude the presence of blood. Also stool analysis could determine presence of an infection that is causing the diarrhea. Meanwhile keep yourself adequately hydrated to avoid eye dryness.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
