What Causes Persistent Pain In Stomach?
I have pain that never leaves me. It is all on my left side of my stomach and my side and my lower back by my kidneys. The left side of my body is so tite and tence,it's like a hard baseball. A baseball is held together with lots of rubber band wraped very tight. I eat a lot of fiber and my stool looks like it is not possessing it because I can see the oatmeal flakes. Or do I have parasite in my body because I have all this pain.
