What Does Abdominal Pain On The Left Side Indicate?
For the first time in ages I walked at a medium pace on the treadmill for 2 miles this morning. By the time I finished I had a pain in the left side of my abdomen which didn t go away for about 45 minutes after finishing. I ve experienced this before but never so bad as today.

Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor Service. I reviewed your query and here is my answer.
Do you have this pain only after exercise? Is it associated with other symptoms? As far as you had said that this occur when you use treadmill, so this look likes exercise related transient abdominal pain (ETAP). It can be prevented or improved by not taking any beverages or food at least 2 hr prior to the exercise or by wearing abdominal belt. However you need to talk to your doctor if you may need any investigation.
Hope i answered your query, please feel free to ask for further assistance. Thanks.
Regards.
