Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Left Side Of Abdomen
For the last 2 weeks after about 4 hours of physical work outdoors in 90 degree weather I experience pain in my upper abdomen on the left, side, just under my ribs. This seams to coincide with back pain also on left side of lower spine and tingling in upper left leg on the outside. When I sit and relax for a half hour at lunch it subsides and takes a hour or so to begin hurting after returning to work. When I stop working at night it subsides immediately thou some tenderness continues for an hour. I sleep comfortably at night and have no pain until a 4 hours after returning to work the next day.

Dear- thanks for using our service, I read your question in detail and will give you my medical advise. The pain that you are having could come from your back,mostly a pinched nerve from herniated disc or spinal stenosis. I suggest to use a back brace to keep the back straight and that might help your pain. However, if the pain is in the left side of the abdomen, make sure that you don't eat a lot of small seeds, because one of the symptoms of diverticulitis is left abdominal pain.I recommend you to try antinflammatory as ibuprofen to see if relieves the pain ,if no improvement, visit your primary care doctor for evaluation.
I hope that my advise has been helpful
