Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Pain And Soreness On The Back
Hello, For over one year i have been experiencing persistent discomfort in my upper left abdomen, actuallu it seems that is the top of my rib cage. I am also feeling a concentrated spot of pain in y upper left side of my back-if I press on this spot(no lump felt) it is sore for a few hours. I don t know if they are related? I did have a complete Robotic hysterectomy approx. 2 yrs ago. which involved an incident where the Physician nicked my intestines in a couple spots-could this be related?
Hi. Thanks for your query. You have a discomfort in the left upper abdomen for more than a year seemingly at the top of your ribs and also have spot of pain in the back. History of Robotic Hysterectomy 2 years back, wherein the intestines were nicked inadvertently.
I think the Hysterectomy and the intestinal perforation may not be related to your pain at the moment since there is a gap of 1 year. Since there is a point at the back and you are feeling this like on the ribs, it looks to me as a case of Costochondritis.
Get examined by a Surgeon, get a confirmed diagnosis, investigation if asked for and take a proper course of medicines and you will be fine.
