Reasons For Getting A Weird Muscle Spasm In Stomach On Lower Left Side
For the last two nights I have been getting a weird muscle spasm in my stomach on the lower left side. Also, my back has been in pain on the lower left side. I do not know if they are apart of the same situation or not because my back could be apart of me recovering from a surgery that I had almost a year ago. But it has not hurt me this bad for a while.
One more thing that has been bothering me is that the last two time I had my period, I could not wear a tampon. I always wear one with no problem. But the last two times it has hurt really bad to wear one and I could not handle it.
I do not know if any of this is a real problem but I am concerned because I have never had any of the strange symptoms before.
Hi. This can be due to severe PID- Pelvic inflammatory disease or a Tubo-ovarian mass or Psoas Abscess. I would advise an urgent ultrasonography followed by CT scan of the whole abdomen , spine and retro-peritoneum to confirm the diagnosis and get operated if need be. Further investigations can be carried out to see if there is tuberculosis of this area.
