Default Pain on my left side?????

Hope you all can help. I have been having some moderate pain on my left side for about 4 days now. The pain is under my left rib cage area. Almost like a side cramp but more intense and constant. I am eating and drinking with no problems. Bowels working well. No fever or vomiting. I am 3 months post op and have had no problems so far. Anyone have this sort of pain???? What was the cause??? I am starting to get freaky about it. Help!

Jennifer

I was in the E.R. on New Year's Eve with pain in my left side. Turned out to be a case of diverticulitis. I agree with Gina. Call your doctor...NOW.

Jennifer get it checked out. Even though you feel fine now things could turn quick if something is wrong. It doesn't hurt to make sure everything is fine. Keep us posted.

Praying that it is just GAS.

Thanks everyone. I called the Dr today and he sent me to the ER for some tests. CT and bloods. Everything came back negitive. I am going to be seen in his office on Friday. I am thinking that it might be an ulcer. Hopefully I will find out more on Friday.

Thanks again
