for the last 3 or 4 days I have had pain on my left side of my abdomen. It only hurts when I cough, sneeze or press on the location. the location of the pain is equal distance below my rib cage and above my hip on in the middle of the left side of my abdomen. I have no digestive problems. I do not remember injuring myself during any activity.
Hi, The pain at lateral side of left mid-abdomen can arise from- - Muscle pain, due to heavy work-outs/exertion.  -The underlying organs - Enlarged spleen, intestinal colic, left kidney problem, left sided spinal problem.  You need to consult your doctor for physical assessment to judge & have investigations as per need, for diagnosis & treatment.  Avoid massage/fomentation. NSAIDs will help in case of muscle pain. Other conditions to be treated under doctors guidance only.  Thanks.
