What Causes Persistent Abdominal Pain In The Lower Left Quadrant?

Broken thoracic vertebrae in Sept. When I fell I hit my left side hard and left arm paralyzed 5 days. Now, for past two months having moderate pain every day in LLQ. PT says it s the psoas muscle being angry. But I m worried since it s not any better even with laser for pain.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Muscular pain can last for weeks but generally if no improvement in 6 weeks another evaluation is needed. Other causes of LLQ may need to be considered and ruled out.
In both male and female the pain in the area can be caused by bowel problem from as simple as constipation to more important diagnosis like diverticula or tumor.
In females problem with the ovaries or the pelvic organs can be the case and might need to have an examination like transvaginal ultrasound to rule them out.

I hope I have answered to your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
