What Causes Sharp Pain In The Upper Abdomen On The Left Side?
Had a sharp pain in the upper left abdomen during the night. It woke me up from my sleep. It was only for a couple of seconds, but very sharp, and kept me awake. I had diverticulitis years ago and sometimes feel some discomfort when I sleep on my left side, but no major pain since then. Could this be diverticulitis so far up almost near my navel. I do have occasional problems with constipation, but lately I ve been fairly regular.
