What Causes Severe Stabbing Pain In The Lower Abdomen, Upper Pelvic Area With Minimal Burning?
I get a severe stabbing pain in my lower abdomen, upper pelvic area on my left side. This is a pain that can vary in severity from a minimal burning sensation to a stabbing, drop me to my knees pain and only occurs when that area gets hit or touched. There is no swelling, no coloration, no bumps and everything is normal with my bodily waste. It has been occurring for 11 days now and when I went to the hospital a week ago they quickly dismissed it as a muscle issue. I am a 26 year old male. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.
If I were your doctor, I would advise you for an ultrasound of abdomen to rule out a ureteric calculi which could give rise to pain of this intensity, or any other in intraabdominal pathology. Till the reports are ready, I would prescribe you with some anti inflammatory drug along with a proton pump inhibitor.
I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef
