Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
Pain in abdomen on left side can be due to the following reasons:
Colitis.
Enteritis
Left ureteric stone.
This can be diagnosed by the following ways:
Get a clinical evaluation by a General Surgeon.
Tests of stool, blood and urine.
Ultrasonography of the abdomen.
A course of an antibiotic, metronidazole, antispasmodic and probiotic may help is there is any evidence of infection.
If there is no relief with these then go for an opinion of a Gastroenterologist, colonoscopy and CT scan of teh abdomen to get a probable diagnosis and a plan of further management.
