I just finished a 5 day bout with diarrhea . Ran blood tests, took stool sample. Everything came back normal or negative. Now, one day later, I am having severe pain in my left abdomen. When I saw a Dr. last Friday, she asked if I had pain in lower left abdomen .. At that time, I did not. What might she have been looking for? I m due to leave on a 9 hour road trip tomorrow and am concerned about what might be developing. Any ideas?
Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. I would come up with these possibilities for such type of pain in abdomen, This includes.1 Renal stone, diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound both kidneys (including ultrasound of ureter, urinary bladder).2 Hyper acidity (gastritis) , diagnosis can be confirmed upper G I endoscopy. Usually after diarrhea patient develops gastritis. Physical as clinical history is also important in such type of cases.3 Amoebic colitis, diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination as colon found palpable. In my opinion consult a physician and get his opinion about left renal colic. Good luck.
