Hi,
THe pain at lateral side of left mid abdomen can arise from-
- Muscle pain,due to heavy work outs/exertion.
-The underlying organs - Enlarged spleen,intestinal colic,left kidney problem,left sided spinal problem.
You need to consult your doctor for physical assessment to judge & have investigations as per need, for diagnosis & treatment.
Avoid massage/fomentation. NSAIDs will help in case of muscle pain. Other conditions to be treated under doctor's guidance only.
Thanks.
