<s>[INST] I have pain in my left part of my stomach area around my left hip and going up slightly it is a sharp throbbing pain, but not disbilitating wish i had spell check on this page. It has been coming and going since Friday afternoon. I do not think it is an appendix because It is on the wrong side of my body. No fever but I am very tired. [/INST] Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. The commonest cause of such intermittent pain on the left side of the abdomen can be due to severe for of colitis. You can have a 5-day course of an antibiotic and metronidazole, probiotic, anti-spasmodic and see the results. If the symptoms are not abated go for colonoscopy and ultrasonography of the abdomen along with the routine blood, urine and stool tests. </s>
