What Is The Treatment For Severe Abdominal Pain?

I have an ache on the left side of my abdomen almost reaching around to my back, it is also making me feel a bit sick. I dont know if they are related but last week i had itchy bruises on my lower legs and i seem to be needing to urinate quite urgently.

Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a urine routine/microscopic/culture sensitivity test to rule out a UTI and treat it if positive, and this might relieve you of your abdominal pain. In addition, I would also advise you for a CBC, a clotting profile, a LFT, a serum amylase and lipase and an ultrasound of abdomen to rule out any pathology of the pancreas and the biliary system. An ECG would be optional depending on the result of the clinical assessment of your abdomen and chest. Till the reports of clinical assessment and the related investigation are co-related to arrive at a diagnosis, I would advise you for an anti spasmodic drug along with a proton pump inhibitor drug for a symptomatic relief.

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.
