Pain lower left side of stomach.

I keep getting this pain in the lower left side of my stomach, I've had it for 3 days now. My doctor felt my stomach with his hands and didn't really notice anything unusual.

I'm freaking out about this.

I had something similar on the right side of my stomach recently. It turned out to be a minor tear in the abdominal muscles. It healed after about a week.

If your doctor isn't very concerned about it, the it probably isn't something worth worrying about. Of course if it doesn't get better or gets worse, you should probably go back to your doctor or get a second opinion.

heartburn or gas maybe.

I wouldn't worry about it. I've spent so much of my time thinking about what's wrong with me, that I got to the point where I wasn't enjoying living. I've just moved on other things to obsess about.

Did the white bump in your mouth turn out ok? You never informed us. Anyways, i'm sure this is nothing. You seem to be the type that is scared a lot, judging by your name and worries. I'm not making fun, it's just an observation. Like I said, I use to have the worst panic attacks, and would think that I was having a heart attack. I actually went to the emergency room several times, and I was only panicking. Every day I thought something was wrong with me. It turned out to be really exhausting. It's really pointless to be scared of things like this, but I know we can't help it until we find another strategy. My strategy today is, calm down, relax, it's just gas!! lol. Had to get a little humor in there.

<span class="ev_code_PURPLE">Yes the white bump in the roof of my mouth is still there. But I learned some people grow a bone up there. But I don't know what this stomach crap is. Maybe I'm just constipated and I'm making a big deal out of nothing. Who knows?

I went to the family doctor today, and she said it could be my colon, or ovulation pain...she told me to take a laxative and if nothing happens then to take a cat scan or ultra sound...im worried sick........WORRIED SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its scary to me. I dont like it. </span>

It may help you to accept the fact that you are powerless over it. Whatever happens in life is gonna happen. That doesn't mean to not look into it if it really worries you. I'm just saying this is how I overcame most of my panic problems. It's a much more peaceful life when you're not worried constantly about thinking you may die. Truth is you will die. Everyone will. I hope you can learn to be happy without so much worry. I have, and I was a real hypocondriac. Heart attack, brain tumors, insanity, ect. These were my worries, and looking back, it's downright silly. Good luck to you, try not to worry.

<span class="ev_code_GREEN">I went to the doctor today..... I do NOT have insurance. The doctor didn't really know what was wrong with me. She was going to send me to the hospital so I can get a CAT scan, and a ULTRA SOUND. But at first she wanted me to try to LAXATIVE to make sure it's not just a case of constipation. I bought "Genuine Phillips" Chewable tablets. In the back of the bottle it says adults and children 12 years and older chew 8 tablets. I'm too scared to take 8 tablets so I took 4 at once. And a few hours later I took another 3. I haven't pooped yet.................................... ........ I don't know if I will poop either. She said if my stomach doesn't feel better by Sunday, then to go back to the doctor, and then they will order those other tests. I'm scared as heck. I'm very very scared, I don't want to deal with this right now. I hate waiting around for test results too. I'm not a very patient person. I want to go to a doctor and have them tell me right away whats going on, I don't want to have to go from one doctor to the other, and get scared Well my left side isn't as bad anymore, it went near my belly button now the sensation. And to my RIGHT side now.... I'm starting to go hay~wire, and not understand my symptoms well, because I'm so nervous and confused. I don't know if this is all in my head or real. I told her about my diet, that I have been doing nothing for 2 to 3 weeks now, but eating TV DINNERS, and sitting on my bed and using the lap top and playing video games. Drinking a 40 ouncer of beer before bed a night. She said this could very well be just constipation, but WHAT IFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF? What if these laxatives don't work? What if constipation isn't the problem? Will I die ? :yawn:I'm sick of this. And on top of everything we have a dumb tornado watch too. </span>

Sounds like most of it's in your head. I have had the same anxiety about doctors. I felt that something terrible was wrong with me, and after going to different doctors, they couldn't find anything. That was a year ago, and hey i'm still alive
