Left sided lower abdominal pain

[pb]

I have had left sided low stomach pain on and off for six months. I have gp appointment for Monday.
Scared that I have left it so long. Sometimes feels like pain is in my hip and groin. Pain quite bad today !
Have ibs , worried it might be divicular disease.

Well there is no point guessing and speculating - see what the doctor says.

Cancelled my Dr's appointment on Monday and now have to wait another 3 weeks for anot her appointment.
Has anyone had chronic left abdominal pain and it's not been anything serious.
Think dr will send me for tests.

I could have written this letter.. exactly the same symptoms.
I had lots of tests ten years ago but they said nothing was wrong apart from it being a muskuloskeletal problem. But no treatment was offered so it's been pain killers so 10 years of pills I really get stressed at times but tell myself if it hasn't killed me yet I doubt it will now.But it doesn't help that all I was only offered was Co Codamol. I've always wanted to go back for more tests but suppose I would be told I don't need any.
