What Causes Tingling Sensation In Abdomen?

For the past few months, I have had this spasm/tingling sensation on my left side abdomen that goes from front to back…Also at times, feels like there is something moving around inside me, just at or below the rib cage on the left side. I have had changes in bowel movements - sometimes difficult like passing rocks, other times, diarrhea like. My family Dr did an abdominal ultrasound and ob/gyn did a pelvic u/s but said there was nothing abnormal-looking on them. I called my gastroenterologist but they cannot see me until January…any ideas on what might be causing this?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
The catchy symptoms is ''Change in bowel habits'' sometimes difficult like passing rocks and sometimes diarrhea. This along with pain in the left side of the abdomen and reference to the back and also feeling of something moving in the abdomen on the left side, along with tingling sensation is highly suggestive of a Cancer of the colon in this area unless proved otherwise.

Ultrasonography may not show anything at all other than lymph nodes in such situations.

The best investigations are.
CT scan of the abdomen and
Colonoscopy and biopsy.

Get an emergency appointment at some other place to get these things done for an early diagnosis.
