If anyone of you're reading this i really wish u good health and progress. I know how it feels to be helpless and alone and finding no answers to ur problems the only option is to google it or ytube just so u get some closure. Sometimes u don't get the reply from the people who's suffering the same way they're prolly enjoying life after recovery (maybe they were suffering from mild disease). Sometimes its all in the head that says ur health is in trouble and we're put at a panic mode. I know we all are strangers here but there's no denying that we don't prefer starngers suffering. If anyone of you have a serious health issues i really hope and pray that ur healed even without the doctor's intervention ❤. God bless you 💖🙏

My left side has been giving me hell.
I feel it especially when get up after sitting down or lying down

[reymunflores]

The pain is constant and usually hurts more when I lay down, yawn, or breathe. It feels like I got punched in the kidney. It’s day 3 now. I haven’t thrown up or had diarrhea yet. Currently don’t have insurance so I don’t really know what to do

[JohnSmith-zb]

[govinchetty]

[ushas]

I think after covid almost all adults are facing this issues... Don't know what it is....

[XxXK]

Funny how this video mentions jaw pain. A few days ago I woke up and felt like someone punched me on the face. I’m not sure if it’s related to my abdominal pain as it went away after a few minutes after being awake.

[Kasslaa]

Been dealing with this for months. It’s moved into my back. No scan or Dr can figure out what is causing my left upper abdominal pain with flank pain and pain in back. At my wits end.

[blahded]

Hmm, not pain for me. Just feels like something is swollen? I also can’t really identify where it’s exactly coming from, even if I poke/palpate around, but it’s left side abdomen, lower left and right quadrant. I feel like perhaps it even moves? I only really feel it if I bend over into a low squat. Odd…

[gilllawson]

I have a pain that moves around. Usually upper right then it moves to upper left

[Chino]

I have these issues currently having them now dr tells me it's an Infection but I doubt it took all the meds they gave and still has not gone away dealing with this since Nov 2022

[mariaariimpa]

I have pain left upper side of the stomach after bending what cause that thank you
