What Causes Stabbing Pain In The LRQ Of The Abdomen?
I have terrible pain on my left side, it comes in waves, stabbing. If it was on the right side, I would think it was my appendix, but not. I have only had liquids today, thinking it may be a bowel obstruction. It started a week or so ago and has gotten worse.

Hello,
It could be a renal stone. As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult a general surgeon and plan for an ultrasound scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you all the best.
