What Causes Throbbing, Dull, Achy Abdominal Pain?
I am having pain in my abdomen that wraps around my side and onto my back. The pain is level with my belly button and is only on the left side. It came on suddenly and is a throbbing but dull achey pain. It goes back and forth between bareable and bad, I am on no medication, except birth control and I am a breast feeding mother. What should I do?

Hello
This type of pain in abdomen on the left side and radiating in the back may be due to these possibilities , these include.
1 Left renal calculus or stone in kidney as mostly pain in abdomen radiates to the back is a characteristic feature of renal calculus. Diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound abdomen .
2 Urinary tract may be the cause of this pain , Diagnosis can be confirmed by urine culture.
3 In female such type of pain may be due to salpingitis or Ovarian cyst . Diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound of ovary.
In my opinion taking of pills is nothing to do with this pain.
So consult a physician and get his opinion as mentioned above.
