What Does Severe Pain Below The Waist On The Left Side Indicate?

Hello; I have had a periodic stinging pain, left side below the waistline for the last 12 hours. The sting lasts a few seconds but returns in a minute or up to 2 minutes later, sometimes longer. At this time, it s an irritation, concern, nothing painful enough to go for medical treatment, but enough I m searching online medical files. The intensity of pain has not increased over this 12 hour period, just this continuous ping/sting. And of course I have travel plans in two days, which adds to the concern of whether this is something that will delay those plans. Thank you, Gloria

Hi,

With your brief history the only thing you should could be worried is a renal stone. Its movement cause such periodic pain. Kindly get an ultrasound done primarily. Prophylactic wise consume plenty of water and also take an Antacid otherwise.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
