Detailed Answer:
Hello,

When did your symptoms start, and how high is your lymphocyte count? Can you upload your blood count report using the "upload report" button here?

Depending on how high your lymphocytes are, and how bad the pain is will help determine how soon you need to go in to be seen by a doctor.

Also, I see that you are taking magnesium as a supplement. Is this new for you? And why are you taking it? Because excess magnesium can increase bowel motility.

Thanks for the answer. I had my medical on December 17. At the time the doctor recommende drevisiting situation with another blood test in 8 weeks. Symptoms seem to have gotten worse in the last month specially after exercise when I tire myself out. I have noticed I cannot push so hard in the last month. Symptoms started in early December and have gotten progressively worse. Not to the point of handling my day to day life but a nuisance because I cannot exercise to the point I would like to. Just have a general feeling of malaise most of the time. I am awaiting my results from my clinic, until then hard for me to upload. Hoping to have them this week. I will cal them tomorrow to get a copy of blood work

Brief Answer:
Information

Detailed Answer:
Where exactly is the left sided pain? Is it up near the rib cage, or down lower?

As the symptoms have been going on for one month and getting progressively worse, I think it needs to be revisited sooner. 8 weeks to recheck blood work is not unreasonable, but given that the pain has progressed, I think you should not also wait another month for reexamination.

Ok yes started around the rib cage and seems to be present lower in the abdomen now and migrating to the side. It is like a numb burning sensation that comes and goes. I can forget about it for a few hours and t comes back. I will consult a physician this week and see what may be happening. Have been taking zinc, magnesium, vitamin d to help with natural testosterone production along with exercise. will stop taking these to see if this has an impact on my condition . Thanks for the advice

Brief Answer:
Thoughts on this.

Detailed Answer:
Yes - I think this needs to be examined in person.

And it is reasonable to stop the supplements for a short time to see if it helps.
