Left side Sharp pain - Need your input/suggestion to narrow down an cause

Posted , 7 users are following.

I am having Sharp Pain in Left Upper Abdomen (towards the side of the body), the Pain occurs almost same location as side stitch , Pain occurs almost 5-6 times a day and pain stays for 1-2 minutes and for few days, pain doesn't appear.

In past 6 month back, I was treated for Antral Gastritis for H.Pyroli and I did take recent test for same , which came Negative.

My stool is normal but at times it smells.

I went to GI recently, where he thinks it is related to Stomach muscle, even though I have stopped my excercise routine for almost 5 weeks, still I have pain and I am disagreeing to GI opinion.

Pain Location looks like Splenic Flexure location, but I am not sure whether symptoms of mine is related to Splenic Flexure/IBS or something else...I am lost trying to find answer in google search.

Another thing, whenever I have these Sharp shooting pain, I do have Yogurt for next 2 days for all 3 times of food and pain subdues (not sure what is the connection which is helping me).

Anybody experienced this kind of symptoms.

    Hi All,

    Just wanted to keep posted on my issue which could be helpful.

    I did spend sometime in Youtube where someone had posted similar pain issue due to (INTERCOSTAL MUSCLES) RIB PAIN (almost on same place in my body location). Happen to chat with that gentleman who really provided more insight since it took almost 4 months to recover from (INTERCOSTAL MUSCLES) RIB PAIN which is completely news for me where muscle strain takes 4 month to recover).

    Since I was also doing functional work-out, probably I have strained my muscle and followed th advice of the gentle man to do stretching exercises. I feel lot more better, pain for sure had reduced after 1.5 month.
