What Does Extreme Pain On The Left Side Of The Lower Abdomen Indicate?

I came down with extreme side pain this morning. Maybe like a torn muscle, but I wasn't doing any activity.
The pain is very sharp and comes when I make certain movements. I have been in bed all day.
Sitting is very difficult; I eat standing up instead. Don't know if it's a muscle injury or something else. Location is hard to describe, but it's left side, about belly-button level. And very deep pain, nothing at the surface.

Hi,

As the amount of pain is substantial, acute intra abdomen condition has to be figured out at first instance as calculus in the urinary system, inflamed bowel segment or others.

In our clinic, after primary control of pain with injection therapy, I request prescription of CT scan of abdomen and pelvis for final diagnosis.

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