What Does Severe Pain In The Abdomen On The Left Side Indicate?
I am 50 60 bees I have what we assume is IBS with no medication for this. I am diabetic high blood pressure diabetic. I am have no gallbladder at this time. I will go several days with constipation and then I will have what I call explosion. This one I had a lot of pain in the stomach and a lot of pain on the left hand side.

Based on your history and symptom description, I believe that you may have diverticulitis.
I recommend you: - An urgent physician /surgeon consult - A CT scan of the abdomen - Stick to liquid or semi solid diet - Blood tests (complete blood count, kidney and liver function tests, blood glucose levels)
Based in this, a diagnosis can be made and appropriate treatment given. Please see your doctor as soon as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Shuba Hariprasad
