Brief Answer: Detailed answer given below Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for providing the additional information. Pain on the upper extreme left of the abdomen could be due to musculoskeletal pain or due to disease involving the lower part of the left lung. Chest x ray should be done to rule out left lower lung involvement. Meanwhile you can take dolo 650 for relief. A clinical exam by a doctor is the ideal thing to do. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr.Ratnakar Kini
