Left Sided pain is Mostly Renal and needs Urologist help in your case !!
Detailed Answer:
Brief Ans-Left Sided pain is Mostly Renal and needs Urologist help in your case !!
Hi,Dear !! Thanks for the updates to HCM.
I read and reviewed your updates in view of the facts submitted by you and in context to the complex story of your health issues submitted in your query .
In absence of any of the old or the current reports, and based on the query facts submitted about your health issues,Its really a difficult job to guide YOU, on the health problems you have.
My Impressions and Suggestions on Your health issues-
But still , with My expertise I would sum up your health issues and sum up My suggestions on it as follows-
Pain on left side of abdomen is your main health issue as submitted by you.Current facts suggest that this pain in left lower abdomen-which is stinging type is from Renal Colick as explained below.This is not from either muscular / or neural or from arterial blockage ,as explained below in details in E.
Summary of Your Health Issues and Suggestions on it-
You have following-A/B/C/D/E health issues as submitted in your marathon query and in updates as follows-
A)-i-PAD with 70 % blockage of leg arteries with COPD is your problem.The PAD attacks you when you bend and Pain is better in upright position.
ii-You need to walk as part of treatment for PAD,but this increases the pain.
iii-You was asked by surgeon to go for corrective surgery for the badly located block in the abdominal and Leg arteries.This was mostly detected on abdominal angiography study done in 2011.
iv-Pain in groin more on bending but is relieved with lying and reclining positions.Lying on right side reduces this left sided pain, but increases if while lying on left side.
v-You are lean and underweight for long with 115 lbs since 2013 after heart attack.
My Impression and Reasoning- above PAD and COPD-
Dear the pain on the left side of the abdomen you are concerned more about, seems mostly from –the Renal stone for which your Urologist has asked basket treatment.
I would suggest you to plan for it as soon as possible.
Since you understood and adjusted with PAD and COPD, attending to your left sided abdominal pain is your priority as submitted by YOU.
But since the COPD attack comes on bending- seems to be related with Pulmonary Embolism ? with Aortic Atherosclerosis and need life style corrections with addition of statins to your treatment , besides dietary changes.
B)-i-This pain seems to be aggravated with –Left Sided Renal problems .Kidney stone on left side was treated by cutting/blasting , 5 yrs back.
ii-The kidney stone in left kidney was to be treated by basket. The blasting of that stone was avoided by the Urologist,as it was embedded in the kidney tissue.
My Impressions-
Your current left sided abdominal pains with stinging type- are mostly from Renal stone –which is floating and needs basket treatment as suggested from your urologist.
With this background you need to plan specific treatment for Renal Stone- basketing- as soon as possible
C)-i-Aggravated Pain with whistling noise for a minute -on left side after the sexual arousal and sexual orgasm 5 yrs back.
ii-When You lifted too much and exercised , the pain is very high and so You take rest and avoid sex as well to keep you away from this left pain.
My Impression-and Suggestions-
These pains with sex arousal or sex orgasm are from Severe Aorto-Renal and Aorto-iliac-Atherosclerosis in your case.The ischemia caused by the atherosclerotic obstructions,cant supply enough blood and oxygen,which leads to this ischemic pain during sex arousal and orgasm.
The whistling experienced by you 5 yrs back was- from turbulent flow through narrowed blockage in the Aorto-Renal/ or Aorto-iliac Atherosclerosis- in your case.
D)-As submitted in your medical profile,For all these pains you just take Tylenol 750 mg and 325 mg of aspirin currently.
My Impression and Suggestions
You should add on –Statins along with Aspirin and anti-platelet -Clopidogrel to control the blood clot and complications of Sever Dyslipidemia with very high risk lipid profile in your case
Do's Suggested -
In absence of lipid profiles,
-you should change your life style- with avoidance of alcohol/ smoking / tobacco.
Low fat/ high protein diet with high carbs.
Regular jogging and walking
Strict Dietary controls
Vit D3 with Vit B12 and Folic Acid to revive the over all stressed body functions
Would be needed to come out of the stressed body with hypercholesteremia in your case.
E)- Right now it's the pain on left side I need help with . .I would not be able to get records onLipid etc. that easy.
Is it possible that this is a muscle pull or nerve problems. It stung like a bee. Can blockage create this kind of enflamation?
My Impression and Suggestions-
This pain which is stinging and sever type, is mostly from Renal Colic- caused from the floating kidney stone you have.
Thus this pain is not from either muscular or neural or inflammatory cause or from arterial blockage of Aorto-renal atherosclerosis.
Please treat it with Urologist by basketing as soon as possible.
Anti-spasmodic drugs with NSAID and plenty of fluids orally with Urinary antibiotics and with Urinary alkalization-would relieve it temporarily -in your case.
But surgical correction either by stenting to pass the floating renal stone / and or by basketing the renal stone- is the only remedy for it -in your case.
Hope the above comprehensive reply would resolve the current and all the queries on the health issues submitted and updated by you.
Hope this would guide you to plan further care with your doctors there.
You should consider more sessions at HCM,for such chronic complex case, for further suggestions.
