What Can Cause Pain In The Left Side Of The Lower Abdomen?
Hi, my girlfriend is having allot of pain in her lower left abdomen. She went to a doctor who has scheduled her for an ultrasound next week.
Anyway her pain is far worse when lying down or standing and only feels better in sitting position, this makes it very hard for her to sleep as she has to sleep sitting down.
She is also experiencing bloating, so much so she looks pregnant (but is confirmed not)
Her bowel movements are normal and provide no relief.
She is taking 500mg Tylenol every 4 hours. She has had these symptoms for the last 48 hours.

Hi,
I suggest she goes to the emergency department for a thorough clinical examination. It does not sound like constipation, so you should be careful to rule out small bowel obstruction.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
