Left Side Abdominal Pain, Hurts To Sleep On That Side, Having Diarrhea With Yellow Mucus And Blood. Solution ?
I hope you can help me, I m a 49 year old female with mainly left side abdominal pain . It does occur on the right side and back also. I had a episode of diverticulitis 5 months ago recent colonscopy showed abscess had healed, I ve had a C-section , hysterectomy and a abdomio pasty, I cannot sleep on left side hurts to much. The pain is off and on all day. It changes from stabbing to needling to feeling like bee stings. I have diarrhea lasting for days or mushy bowel movements that I have to strain to get started. I have yellow muscus w/blood or heavy bleeding.

Hi welcome to Health care magic forum.
Thanks for choosing H.C.M.F.
As you describe you have left sided pain, some times present in right side and back also, if you sleep on left side it hurts, you have diarrhea lasting for days, with mucous and blood.
You had C.section, hysterectomy, and abdominoplasty.Recent colonoscopy showed that the diverticulitis of 5months old has healed .
It appears that the diverticulitis can show some effects depending on the internal tissue condition. Or there may be amoebic colitis with recent infection.
I advise you to follow some diet recommendations as eat only curd rice or bread for few days, when you feel comfertable start taking bland foods with out spices and gastric irritants. avoid taking junk foods, and oily foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
Best regards.
