Lower left side abdominal pain every 2 minutes, for 24 hours, increases with in-!


Question: Ive been having this sharp pain in my lower left side of my abdominal. It started last night when I went to bed, and has not stopped yet, and is now...nearly 24 hours later...We did have some dinner guests last night, and had some Manicotti shells, pears and chocolate...maybe ate a little more than I should have, but not too bad...I did have a bowl of potato chips...which i dont have more than once a year, if that...I have a history of IBS symptoms, and this isn't the first time I have had this...and take Noritriptyline (sp?) but didn't seem to help. Seems to be a little worse when breathe in. The repitition of the pain (stabbing, dull) makes my breathing a bit faster, probably because im more focused on the pain, and the next stabbing sensation. No BM problems, so its a bit weird. Also, I had a low grade fever for past two days prior to that...just hot and sweating, but dont have any fever today...

There are a number of conditions which can cause the left iliac fossa pain you describe. It could just be an exacerbation of your IBS, but the low grade fever would seem to point to something inflammatory and/or infective such as colitis or diverticulitis. Even if it is your IBS playing up, the history of prolonged colicky pain really requires a medical examination to exclude other potential problems. See your doctor.

get to a doctor immediatly

If you are a woman, and I cant tell from your post, I would say that perhaps this pain is due to an ovarian cyst or a ruptured follicle....neither of which requires immediate medical attention. I would suggest you use Tylenol for the pain, be sure to drink lots of liquids and see what happens.

If I was U ,I would get myself to the hosiptal emergency room.Don't wait till monday.It could be something really wrong.

See a doctor. I had similar symptoms several years ago and it turned out to be pneumonia. No coughing, No other sick feelings just pain when I inhaled - not even a fever. You sound like you have an infection of sorts with the fever though. See a doctor so you can tell them whats wrong instead of someone else trying to tell a paramedic that you were talking one minute and looking at your eyelids the next. Go now.

ibs affects people differenty.plus already using a ibs product for -you -didnot say how long may not work the same.ive been on -and off different stuff for years -some times it is better to just let nature take its course-

Maybe just some big "lumps" passing through the lower bowel....
