What Causes Sharp Left-sided Upper Abdominal Pain?
I have sharp stabbing pain in my upper left abdomen. It started Sunday night, I was uncomfortable no matter how I laid in bed Sunday night but the best was to lay on left side on a heating pad. Yesterday during day the pain was not nearly as bad while I was working but started up again after I ate dinner and has not ceased since.
