I am having pains on my left side - I would think it s a kidney, except that urination isn t painful. A bit cloudy though. The pain is to the left of my spine but radiates down my leg and up to my shoulder, or through my ribs. It is painful to bend over, roll over, walk, sit, stand. The pain intensifies if I have to go to the bathroom. If I have to sit for long periods of time, like for a sporting event, the pain becomes unbearable the next day. I take Metamucil to help with regularity, I m not sure if it really helps though. I m afraid to eat much because veggies cause gas and that hurts, proteins cause blockage. I know this isn t really a question, what else can I change in my diet beside eliminating sugar and white flours can I do? I do not drink alcohol.
