What Causes Pain In Abdomen After An Injury In Lower Left Abdomen?
Two weeks ago I got hit in my lower left abdomen and ever since it s been hurting like an internal pain it feels like. To be more specific it s to the left of my abdomen right between my hip and my lower left ribcage. It s tender and when I lay or put pressure on it hurts worse.
Hi, I have gone through your question. I am a practicing anaesthesiologist and pain consultant. The extent of internal injury is depends on the force of impact at the time of trauma. We can't predict about internal injuries without physical examination and investigations. According to your symptoms it looks like superficial muscle pain only, but still we can't neglect it. You have to undergo ultrasonographyof your abdomen to check for any internal injuries. I would like to suggest, to consult a doctor, and go for appropriate investigations. Pain killers like paracetamol and tramadol will help to reduce the pain.
