Suggest Medication For Pain On Front & Back Side Of The Abdomen
I ve been having pain in the front and back of the left side of my abdomen right below my rib cage. I ve also experienced pain there during urination, but not every time. The pain also shoots down the front of my left leg. It kind of feels like its cramping. It hurts the most when I m laying down, so I m assuming it has something to do with a nerve. Help?

Hi.
Thanks for your query and a very good history.
Form the very nicely put history , this looks to be a case of stone impacted in the left Ureter causing 2 problems.
1> Hydronephrosis meaning fullness of the kidney causing the pain bellow the rib-cage.
2> spasm along the ureter causing shooting down pain as you explained.
You can get this confirmed by ultrasonography and your Urologist can plan treatment according to the findings.
Nothing to do with the nerves.
