Strong sharp pain in left side of lower abdomen , hurts when wipe rectal area & womens area when urinating

by donna
(tucson, az.)

I was fine, but I did scream something outloudly and thought I felt something pull in my stomach. I got home about 2 hours later; ate and relaxed. But when i got up, I felt a sharp pain in my left side. I thought it could just be gas so i went to bed hoping it would be gone in the morning.

I felt it again and a little stronger when I woke up and went to the restroom. I went back to bed because I felt a little sick like I was getting a touch of the flu and slept a few more hours. When I woke up again I still felt it.

I went to work and worked all day with the pain still there and hurts when I walk hard or sneeze or laugh! It still is there and is probably at the same pain level which is 3-6... if I sit still its fine, when i get up it hurts more.

I have to squeeze my butt cheeks when I sneeze or it hurts worse.

When I go to the bathroom and wipe it hurts if I wipe hard on my rectal area and the area where I urinate but more pain in my rectum.

I am hoping I just pulled something when I yelled and that it will go away.. if i try to suck my belly in it hurts a lot and my stomach is swollen like i have bad gas... I have always had stomach problems.

I don"t eat all day because everything I eat makes my stomach gurgle and I am a hairdresser and cannot have that when I am working. I also never go to the restroom in a public restroom .. I have always just sat down or squeezed hard until the urge goes away. just cant bring myself to go in a public restroom.

I am 49 yeas old, female, have had a partial hysterectomy (still have my ovaries) and have been really extremely tired lately but then again i don"t get enough sleep.

I don"t have insurance so i cant schedule a Dr. appt. i am hoping that it just goes away in a few days. Any suggestions?

I have exactly the same thing, and it is an ovarian cyst on the left side if i press on the rectum or even pee it hurts on that side and or the middle. it is excruciating at different times of the month.

I am experiencing exactly the same pain as I'm typing but my pain extends down my left buttock. I have just had a colonoscopy and diagnosed with diverticulosis--but no one told me about the pain. Getting up ia a bitch --the pain takes my breath away. I,m going to doctor so I advise the woman to do the same--with or without medical insurance--can't fool around with this stuff--your health is more important than a few hours of work-loss

have you been diagnosed?
it sounds like diverticulitis.
