Stomach Pain, Tenderness, Cramps, Digestive Issues, Back Pain. What Is Going On?

Hi i have been getting really bad pains in the left side of my stomach, it has been going on for 2 weeks now. I have been to my GP who said there was some tenderness and gave me some medicine to help reduce the cramps. This did not help..the pain is still there. Over the counter medicines for digestive problems seem to be aggrevating it, i have never suffered from any problem like this. I am really worried as the pain is now spreading towards my back. The pain first started around my belly button and now its spread to the side and back..

Hi welcome to Health care magic forum.
Thanks for choosing H.C.M.F.
You have pain on the left side of stomach, started at belly button, and after 2 weeks it is spreading towards back.
It appears to be the gastric pain due to peptic ulcer, pancreas pain, worms pain, urinary tract infection, stones in the urinary system, or in females may be due to gynacological problem.
I advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may have to get M.R.I. gastroscopy, besides other routine tests for confirmation.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
Best regards.
