Pain in the lower left side of abdomin?

starting yesterday afternoon i got a really bad pain in my lower left side of my stomach .. its really painful like i cant even hardly get up and walk i have to bend over and walk bc the pain is unbearable. its not time for my period yet but it is getting close. i think it could be a cyst on my ovary but im not sure. im scared to go to the gyno bc i've never been before but im feeling like i might have to bc its been 24 hours and its still hurting really bad. does anyone know what this could be? ive been on some antibiotics for bout 9 days now bc i had strep or something and that also gave me a yeast infection and now im taking medicine for that. im not sure if that would have anything to do with this. but please any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks
Answer:
lots of things can cause the pain you described without knowing your complete history no one will be able to tell you what is causing it. It could range from something you ate to ectopic pregnancy... if the pain is so bad you can't walk I suggest you get to your doctor. Pain for an unknown reason that interferes with your ability to function is a serious problem. If you have other symptom like a fever then get there even quicker.starting to sound like you have a urinary tract infection which can cause the pain when you urinate. If the urine is cloudy then it becomes more likely that you have a urinary tract infection... although if your taking antibiotics for strep, most of those that would be given would also work on the UTI...It is however possible that its a very bad UTI in which case you might need a stronger course of antibiotics or even intravenious antibiotics. There are just too many things that could be doing it. I strongly suggest you see a doctor, even your primary care doc should be able to run some tests that would narrow down whats wrong.
hmm one thing it could be kinda sounds like kidney stones
i have had them twice and the pain is unbearable.
if it is hurting to urinate or you start to feel constipated tthat can be symptoms.
if you start to get where you cant move and break out in sweats that can also be it.
that could be one possible thing for what it is
From what you told us - skip going to the gyn for now and get to the nearest ER. If all turns out well at least they can give you something for the pain so you can get in to see your gyn. and he/she can take over.
By the way you describe this, it could be a few things. In the lower left side of your belly, there are few structures that cause the pain that you are describing. Your right in that it could be an ovarian cyst.
It could also be a stone moving through your urinary tract.
It could be gas or feces in the area that needs to get out.
One thing is for sure though. Regardless or what it is, we on line can only speculate about your pain and condition. If you would like to have the pain diagnosed, go to your doctor and have them look at your belly and run a test or two. If it is a stone, a urine sample should help them diagnose the problem. If it is something to do with your ovaries or colon, an external exam will help the docs with the diagnosis.
Regardless of what it may be, see your family doctor for help.
