What Causes Sharp Pain On The Left Side Of The Stomach?
I had 2 hernias repaired 2 weeks ago. A ventral and an umbilical. I am having sever sharp pains on the left side of my upper stomach (not an incision site) and a pulling stabbing pain at my belly button. Like something is pulling toward my spine. I am out of pain meds and am starting to get concerned that something is wrong. What should I do?

hi welcome to hcm
Your symptoms could be related to Peritonitis. Get an ultrasound abdomen immediately.. Drugs like Antibiotics, Buscopan can help. Consult your surgeon immediately to confirm the diagnosis. You need to give bowel rest.It may lead to perforation so consult your doctor for emergency management.thankyou
