Good afternoon, I am a 41 year old female, not pregnant, 5 6 120 lbs. I have been dealing with an issue with pains on my left side for over a year now. The pains vary in severity, location, how long they last and the kind of pain, but are most frequently a burning/stabbing pain located about two inches to the left and one inch lower than my navel. I have seen a general practitioner who guessed at it being either an ulcer or a GI problem, suggested I take ulcer meds and see a GI doctor. I the GI, he sent me for a regular as well as a tv ultrasound. He saw nothing alarming other than fibroids and sent me to an OB. One OB said the only real solution would be a hysterectomy, to take Advil if I can t handle the pain and the other one I saw (for obvious reasons) said the pains I get are not related to the fibroids as they are too small. My question: What kind of tests should I ask to have done by what kind of doctor? I would really like to find out what is wrong so I can go back to functioning normally again.
