Hello, Over the past year I have been suffering from pain in my upper left abdomen, I am a 35 year old female who eats healthy and exercises regularly. The pain in my abdomen is constant, I feel like I have cramp in my side all the time. I find it hard to sleep on my left side, or have my arm rest on my left side when I lie down. I went to the doctor and he said I just needed to have a bowel movement. Is it normal to have the feeling all the time? I don t imagine I have to go to the washroom all the time? I am not sure what to do, any help would be appreciated. Thanks
