A pain on the left side of my chest/heart?

Help! constant left side abdominal pain...?

  • Ok, so i have done a lot of research on the web to see if any has symptoms like me. Turns out there is a lot of you out there. So to start off i have been having pain in my lower left side of my abdomen for a few months now. It is there a lot and is sometimes a stabbing pain other times dull nagging pain. It has now moved up to my upper left side and is just under my rib cage. It feels tender and when i breathe in i feel a stabbing pain. Its a constant pain that is sometimes worse or barely noticeable at all. My lower left side of my back just recently has started to hurt as well. To make things worse i have severe menstrual cramps and always have since i started my period. They are so bad and i have been hospitalized for the pain. The cramps are usually worse on the left side then the right. I also feel bloated and have gas along with a burning indigestion feeling that has recently started. Im very worried about all this and don't have health insurance. So if anyone has helpful advice or any ideas of whats wrong i would really appreciate it! Thanks so much for your time!

    Hello- It sounds like an ovary problem. It can be an ovarian cyst filled with fluid or it can even be ovarian cancer. I don't want to scare you but you asked and that's the answer. Most likely it's just a cyst. You have to go to a gyn doctor, describe your symptoms and demand an ultrasound (sonogram). With an ultrasound the doctor can see if there's a cyst and with a simple blood test they can see if it's cancerous. There are many different kinds of cysts and they can all be corrected, but don't go for the 'natural rememdies' you see online because they won't work. (http://www.emedicinehealth.com/ovarian_cysts/article_em.htm I'm sorry you don't have health insurance. Depending on where you live there may be free healthcare or assistance if you are under 21. There may also be special assistance for people under a certain income level. If you google 'help for people with no health insurance' + your state, you should come up with some resources to research. Take care of yourself and don't put it off. This is getting worse, not better, right? So get busy! Wishing you all the best- P.S.: A hernia won't give you bloating and gas. Your appendix is on the right side, not the left.

There are plenty of free clinics around. You may have a little trouble finding one. Call a local hospital or clinic and ask where you can find a good one. Some of them like a small donation from time to time when you can spare it. There's no pressure. They don't usually ask for it. They may have a sign on the bulletin board about donations. Good luck. Take care of yourself.

Go see a doctor immediately! It could be many different things but the most serious is in the colon! A doctor visit will only cost you maybe $50.

Hernia (SP?). Thats my guess. All the bad stuff is on the right side. You ovbiously should see a DR. Though. No on will be able to know for sure.
