Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I’ve been experiencing pain on the left side of my body, and I’m really worried about it. The pain seems to be constant, and I’m not sure what might be causing it. Could you please help me understand what might be going on?

 

Answered by Dr. Hoi Sang

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

1. It’s understandable to be concerned about pain, especially when it’s on one side of the body. There are a number of potential causes for left-sided pain, such as muscle strain, nerve irritation, or even conditions related to the internal organs. Without knowing more about your symptoms, it’s difficult to determine the exact cause, but it’s important to consider other factors like the intensity of the pain, if it radiates anywhere else, or if it’s associated with any other issues such as shortness of breath, nausea, or fever.

 

2. I recommend that you schedule a full evaluation to get a clearer understanding of the cause. Depending on the specifics, further tests or imaging might be required to rule out any serious conditions.

 

Thanks
