What Does Abdominal Pain On The Left Side Indicate?
Hello, My name is Andrea. I m 54 yr old female. I have had pain on my left side most of the day. It began right after I got up this morning. It is in my abdominal area. I no longer have my gall bladder and have had a complete hysterectomy and lumpectomy. I can t imagine what is hurting so bad. It is not a stabbing pain, but hard to describe. It is worse when I m walking and moving around. I have not been out of the states and I haven t had the flu this year but I have had my flu shot.

Hello,
The organs in the left side of the abdomen are the spleen, intestines, and kidney to the back. The muscles in the abdomen can also be the source of pain.
You can consider monitoring and using an anti-inflammatory pain killer, if you can use these. If the pain is severe, you should be assessed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
