I can understand your being scared and don’t you worry about the grammar. I had a similar problem and it turned out to be adhesions. My G.I. had me swallow a small camera and concluded an open exploration was in order. It did require a quick and easy surgery to repair. Best luck and I hope this was helpful. Oh, you don’t have to look for the camera on the way out. It transmits to a device you wear on your waste. Just flush it.

I am also experiencing left side pain.
Mine is a dull ache just under the left ribs. It has been there for months and just recently is has started hurting far worse for hours at a time and hurting into my back, too.
I also get nausea and diarrhea as well. I had tests run and they were all normal. So they did a ct scan and that was all normal. meanwhile I am hurting bad and scared to eat.

You are doing the very best you can do by seeing another doctor next week. Does the dull ache move about your abdomen and does the type of pain change to a stabbing or sore to touch pain? Does the pain get better temporarily after a bowel movement?Have your bowel habits changed such as diarrhoea or constipation? Does eating make the pain better or worse? Perhaps try a food diary. Have you noticed if stress brings on your symptoms? Have you had any recent stressful incidents?
