Should I Be Concerned About Pain In The Upper Abdomen And Sudden Bowel Movement?

Hello Doctor. I have left upper abdominal pain for almost a week. Tender to touch, it is most painful when sneezing, inhaling deep, and sudden movements. Pain radiates through to left kidney region. Current health problems include Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, HTN, Cholestemia, and GERD. Because I know that I have an issue with constipation, I took a bottle of Magnesium Citrate on yesterday. Hasn t provided much of a relief. Should I be concerned with this pain? Never had this before.

Hello,

As the narration of symptoms, it sounds as inflammation of particular bowel segment involving left side of abdomen.

My recommendations at present
- Drink more liquids.
- Consume vegan diet.
- Get prescription of antacid with antispasmodic (as Dicyclomine or Drotaverine), probiotics from your PCP.
- Observe the progress for next 24 hours.

Consult in follow up as per the requirement.

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