How Can One Alleviate Abdominal Pain Caused Due To The Presence Of A Mass In The Upper Left Quadrant?

Good afternoon, I am a RN but I have a palpable large abdominal mass in my upper left quadrant. I am experiencing some constipation as evidenced by 1-3 bowel movements per week. My PCP confirmed this mass and ordered a CT scan. I have a CT scan appt. next week. Can I wait. Today I am experiencing pain in that area. What should I do.

Hello,

As long as you have bowel movements and do not throw up, you are OK. For pain relief, try aspirin and Tylenol and if that does not work, try Tramadol.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Anders Mark Christensen, General Surgeon
