How Can Pain On The Left Side Of The Abdomen Be Treated?

I fell 7 days ago on a hump of ice in my driveway & I fell twice! I still have pain on my left side, I think the pain is even worse because I have been taking motrin, & now im constipated & bloated its causing more pain. Can you suggest anything it really hurts to sit, lay down, drive my car; to get in & out of my car?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As the intensity of pain is more it suggests possible internal muscle pull or ligament stretch. The Motrin has given constipation, so its further use is not advised and ice application over the part postural changes get a prescription of other pain killer from your doctor. Discuss the need of an ultrasound examination with your doctor.

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