Left sided stomach pain

[B3ck89]

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?

I would guess its an ovarian cyst, but that is all I can do - guess. Do it get better with pain killers? Do you have a temperature? Does the pain move around at all or stay in one spot?

She said it doesn’t sound like a problem like that as the pain is too high, no fever and pain has stayed same place and isn’t getting better with paracetamol (can’t take anything stronger as I’m still breastfeeding)

Maybe try a hot water bottle and some gentle stretching, but if it isnt better in a couple of days or it gets worse or you run a fever, definitely go back
