What Causes Persistant Dull Pain In The Left Side Of The Body?
I have a dull pain on my left side which feels like it is inside, not a surface muscle strain necessarily. I am 45 and 6 and 270lbs. overweight, but not super obese. Ive had this pain for about 5 days now. It s mostly in the morning that I feel it, but it is still there. This just came on one morning last week. I am thinking it was a muscle strain, but am wondering if it is something more serious

Hi,
Most probably it will be a simple muscular pain.
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Ibuprofen or Tramadol for pain relief.
If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
