Left sided pain - so worried

I have posted on general health, but thought I would post here too

So I started my period 3 days ago and I started to get a constant pain on my left side between my ribs and hip, it’s not eased off and it’s sore to press on.
Sat in sit and wait clinic for 2 hours for the doctor to say she thinks it’s a pulled muscle, I know it’s not as I haven’t done anything to pull a muscle.
She said there’s not a lot of organs on the left hand side, and it’s not a lady problem because the pain is too high up.
It’s strange the pain started on the day of my period, but she was adamant it’s unrelated.
She asked about my bowels, but they have been fine as far as I know.
Just to add, I had a baby 18 months ago by c section and got sterilised as well.

Has anyone else got any ideas what this could be?

Yes, a pulled muscle: you don't have to have done anything particularly strenuous.

Give it a few days and see - it’s totally possible to pull a muscle without realising at the time. If it doesn’t improve then go back in a couple of days.
