Hello
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
You didn't mention the way of medical abortion as it was with the help of pills or D & C .
Still feeling of the pain may be due to .
1 Retained part of some placenta or piece of it . Diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound of uterus or physical examination by a gynecologist . As you mentioned that pain is mainly on the left side & also in thigh , so chances of retained portion may be there.
2 The next possibility may be some injury on the left side . As you are complaining that pain is on the left side , so may be some injury to uterus or other parts on the left side . Diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound and physical examination.
3 As you mentioned that pain is so severe that it develop nausea i.e . so some sort of infection may be ( septicaemia).
In my opinion consult a gynecologist and get his opinion.
Good luck.
