Suggest Treatment For The Pain In My Left Side

I have a 13% effective gallbladder and am on a low fat diet. Wednesday I started having an attack and I m still having it...only this time I have terrible pain on my left side which I haven t had before. Of course I also have back pain in addition. Is it something other than a gallbladder attack ...kidneys maybe?

Hi thanks for asking question in HCM.

Here your pain could be by gall bladder inflammation like cholecystitis if fever also present as it can reffered to back pain.

The pain could be by severe colitis like condition if abdominal cramp present ...USG done For it.Antibiotic need for it.

If only abdominal pain present then ulcer could be cause.omeprazole taken for it.

If it is stone in kidney then pain us constricting and intolerable..USG useful for it.....

To rule out pancreatitis do serum lipase and amylase estimation if doubt regarding it.

I hope your concern is solved ....

Take care....
