What Causes Pain On The Left Side Under Rib Cage?

I have pain on my left side under rib cage, went to dr. on Tuesday, x-rayed my stomach and did blood work, blood work came back fine, my left side is swollen and inflamed. Diagnosis-constipation? Told to take miralax and Colace if it doesn t get better come backin few days. Now today I ve had bathroom attacks 12 times after eating a banana and a small cup of yogurt and drinking water all day. I had been having stomach trouble like this prior to dr apt and told them. Why would they diagnose me with constipation. Getting concerned pain is not going away

hi,

thank you for providing with the brief history of you.

A thorough clinical examination is advised.

Since you are not satisfied with the current diagnosis and needs more in-depth study, then undergoing an abdominal scan for stomach will be of insightful to understand the more about it.

You can always request your physician about the abdominal scan and some blood routine.

Also, bathroom attacks are common and are good at times , because during the situation of diarrhea the body is eliminating the waste particles out of the body. It's something called as the physiological cleaning process. Due to high end medication and waste in stomach there will be a production of heat which body may plan to eliminate thoroughly.

As per your request I can advice you to undergo an abdominal scan and check it out once if there is any soft tissue pathology of the stomach.
