In my opinion, the most common causes for persistent, radiating left-sided abdominal pain are:
Diverticulitis: This is a leading cause of localized left lower pain that can radiate. It occurs when small pouches in the colon become inflamed or infected.
Kidney Stones or Infection: Pain from the kidneys often starts in the "flank" (side/back) and radiates toward the front or groin in waves.
Digestive Issues: Conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), constipation, or trapped gas can cause crampy, recurrent pain that feels like it is moving through the abdomen.
Musculoskeletal Strain: A pull in the abdominal wall muscles can cause sharp pain that radiates when you move or twist.
Next Steps
See a Doctor for a Physical Exam: Because the pain has lasted for three days and is radiating, a doctor needs to check for "tenderness" or a "rigid abdomen," which could indicate more serious inflammation.
Basic Tests: A doctor may order a urine test (to check for kidney issues) or a blood test (to check for signs of infection).
Imaging: If the pain is severe or persistent, an ultrasound or CT scan is often used to get a clear picture of the internal organs.
Health Tips
Avoid Irritants: Stick to a bland diet (like plain rice or crackers) and avoid spicy or fatty foods until the cause is identified.
Use Gentle Heat: A warm compress or heating pad may help if the pain is due to muscle strain or gas.
Monitor Bowel Movements: Note if you have diarrhea, constipation, or any changes in stool color, as this helps your doctor pinpoint the cause.
Emergency Warning: Seek immediate medical care if you develop a high fever, severe vomiting, a hard/swollen abdomen, or blood in your stool or urine.
