Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Last night a severe pain begin on my left side. I thought it might be constipation. When I move it hurts. Tender to the touch as well Don t think it is just constipation. Should go in for medical help over the weekend? I am 65 and in good health. Exercise and walk a lot
You have mentioned pain while movement and history of lots of exercise. So it could be muscular strain pain.... Avoid movement that causing pain.... Apply hot pads over that.... Take simple analgesic for pain.... Avoid strenous work....
If no improvement it could be by constipation or colitis like situation. Drink lots of fluid... If constipation there take over the counter psyllium like bulk forming agent.... Ciprofloxacin like antibiotic given . Excess spicy and fried food avoided. Fiber diet and fruits taken more.
If still cause not clear USG done. Take care....
Consult physician for your condition....
