Did he do an ultrasound of any part of your anatomy ?
Left quadrant pain can have several causes. Did he do labwork to check
on a white count to see if you had an elevated white count. Are you mid
cycle...could it be mid cycle pain (which can be pretty painful, but
only for 24 hours or less).
There is not enough information. Did he FEEL an enlarged ovary or cyst ?
I guess the best think is to see if things get better or worse.
Another thought would be an early ectopic pregnancy, that you are
feeling. It is possible this is a referred pain. I would certainly
want an accurate diagnosis before just treating with pain
medications...There are a lot of possible things that could cause this
kind of pain...tho you can rule out the appendix !! It is only on the
right...
