Suggest Treatment For Sharp Pain In The Left Abdominal Area For A 55-year-old
I have lower left area abdominal pain for three days now. The pain is more bearable if I take extra strength Tylenol every 6 hours then it comes back. The pain is sharp and spread all the way to my lower back that keeps me awake all night. Now I noticed there s an area on my left hip that s numb with sharp pain once a while. The reason I haven t been to ER is I m afraid they would operate me for something unnecessary... and I m scared of hospitals. My family doctor retired two years ago so I haven t been to a doctor since. I had been going to get a general check up once a year and think I m generally a pretty healthy person...until now. I m a 55-year-old Asian female.
