I have been having a lot of pain in the lower left side of my stomach.


Posted by Matthew P.

This has been going on for years. It usually doesnt start to bother me till i go to bed. The lower left side of my stomach is in a lot of discomfort. If i hold a pillow or preassure on my side it helps a lot. I have also have blood after a bowel movement. Can anyone let me know if they know what this is? Thanks

Once again...

It can NOT be appendicitis, because the appendics are on the RIGHT side, NOT left!!!!

I see so many people acting like docs, when there not... Im just sick of the false information. If you dont know do guess, or even try to answer.

I know because I had mine removed! Hope this helped you, and gave you one less thing to worry about!

Lower left abdominal pain can suggest a problem in the lower colon, where food waste is expelled. Possible causes include inflammatory bowel disease or an infection in the colon known as diverticulitis.

BUT. I had this before! Like 3-4 weeks ago. I had to get my appendix out BECAUSE of the pain in my left lower side, Ok, heres the story one day i woke up and it started hurting i went to the doctor they wanted to see if it would get better the next day. Ok, The pain relieved in my left side BUT then it switched to my right side. It felt like someone was kicking my rib cage so this can happen.
