What Causes Pain In The Left Side Of The Abdomen?

not sure, where to put this question. I started having pain in my left leg one year before, it then comes to testical pain, then pain in my left side of abdomin, now most of the times in lower lungs or in left side of back. I have got so many ultrasound, TMT, ECG, but still not find the root cause. Doctor suggested to take tablet to lower the cholestrol. I have been taking from last three months, but still no luck. Someone suggested that it can be due to trapped gas, I have taken many tablets for the same even auyurvedic also. But no luck. Any suggestion

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Since the pain started in the left leg, left testicle and slowly moving up but all on the same side, it is most likely to be due to the problem wither in the same side of spine or in the brain on the right side, the opposite one.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Get a clinical examination and evaluation by a Neurologist.
MRI of the brain and the whole spine may help you to get a proper diagnosis.
Assisted by the tests of blood.
Also a test of spinal fluid can help a lot.
Get the nerve tonics and multivitamins as these help in recovery.
Watch for the small trivial things like changes in bladder and bowel functions, the type of pains and pins and needles sensation.
Any instigating or enhancing factors and avoid these effectively.
Benign Intra-cranial hypertension, raised sodium in the blood, brain and body also can cause the same problems. Hence get the serum electrolytes and other relevant tests.
A proper diagnosis alone can help for the plan of management as your tests in the past like ultrasonography, TMT, ECG are all normal and may not be that much relevant.
I find this answer helpful
