What Could Pain In Lower Abdomen With Symptoms Of Flu And Painful Chest Mean?
I have been having pain in my lower abdomin on my left side. I had ultrasound done which came back normal bloodwork came back normal. Now 2 weeks later I come down with flu like symptoms no vomiting or diarrhea but excrutiating body ache which sent me back to the doctor where they gave me a shot for the pain wnite count good but inflamation level in blood elevated slightly. I go home and the next day I am now have pressure in my left rib cage area and kinda hard to breath like when it is very cold out and you breathe in the air but it is so cold it hurts your chest

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
A bit complicated history, difficult to correlate with each other.
Pain in left lower abdomen- then flu- then painful respiration.
All these may be related to the flu.
The bodyache is due to flu; the pain in abdomen can be attributed to flu or colitis of non-specific reason; and the pain in the left rib cage can be due to costo-chondritis, occurs so often with flu.
I would advise to get a symptomatic treatment , wait for the results and add-on the treatment is a specific reason is found.
