What Causes Severe Pain Above The Waist On The Left Side?
Have never had this type of discomfort before. Started about 5 days ago, gets so intense that I am taking pain medication to be able to tolerate the pain. Pain is on my left side above the waist and seems to be internal, the pain at times feels like it is all the way through to the front. It is not back ache pain. It is almost unbearable at times.

What Causes Severe Pain Above The Waist On The Left Side?
Hello, As first-line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult a general surgeon and plan for an ultrasound scan. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
