In The Past Week I Have Been Having This Odd

Question: in the past week I have been having this odd bulge feeling in my upper left abdominal that I'm growing concern about. I'be pushed on it and it feels rather hard, last night I woke up with a slight stabbing feeling in the area and it radiated to my back. I've been waking up with this issue for the past 3 nights and feel general discomfort in the area. I also feel gas or air trapped in my stomach constantly largely in this area and I've just grown a concern as the rear feels like theres a bulge there.
Brief Answer:
You should be investigated
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Spleen,Part of Pancreas,part of Colon are present in the left upper part of the Abdomen.Any swelling arising from these organs may cause bulge there.
Ultrasound abdomen will give a clue.If it is normal,take skeletal muscle relaxant tablet containing Thiocolchicoside.If the pain is due to Musculoskeletal cause,this drug will work and give you relief.
If the symptoms persists even after this,I prefer a Contrast Enhanced CT SCAN Abdomen.
Nothing to worry.
Please consult your doctor and proceed further.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions,I will clarify further.
Wish you good health
