Pain In Left Upper Quadrant, Started With Muscle Strain. Taking Medication, Still Having Dull Pain. Suggestions?

I have been having pain in my left upper quadrant. It started with a muscle strain my back with pain in my back radiating to same area as back in abdomen or diaphragm. After a week of this pain I had a cortisone and toradol injection. Given Mobic, soma and hydrococone if needed. By Monday the pain completely went away. On Thursday pain started to come back. I took the meds given and had relief. The pain in back is gone but the pain in LUQ front is not going away and hurts a lot. I also had a lot of gas pain when this first started but that has gone away. I'm going on my 3rd week of pain.

I'm just not sure where to turn. It a very dull pain.

Thank you
Tammy

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us
As per description,pain in left upper quadrant seems most likely due to indigestion and gastric pain. Drinking a lot of water, taking antacid will be helpful. Eat a diet rich in high fibres, fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables, nuts, milk, eggs, pulses and cereals.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
