i am 26 year old man, i have been recently getting pains in my waist area periodically throughout the day for about the past 6mo. the ache is mostly on the left side..the organs in the area are colon and kidneys -yet i don't have any abnormal stool or urine deposits....
at first i thought i pulled a muscle during work (i am a truck driver and boom operator) thinking maybe i lifted or turned the wrong way..... but the pain doesn't seem to go away. It is a constant miscomfort and ache...
it happens mostly at work when i bend down and also after i eat a meal...
this has me concerned.... if it is a pulled muscle then why do i have pain after eating.... i make normal BMs and am never nausious.
unfortuanatley i don't not have insurance and am trying to do some research before i start going doctor jumping.
any advice or opinons will be appreciated.....

I have the same thing. I am a 27 year old woman. The same symtptoms as you, but I can also feel a ball or lump when I lay down. I passed numerous tests, such as hernia and ovaries, but nothing came back. I still have the pain and if it is too bad, I take advil and ice packs. I don't want to discourage you, but wanted to share my experiences. Good luck!

ive had left and right waist pain which also goes into my hips for the last 13 months ive had ct scans, ultrasounds, xrays and im about to have a barium test and a colonoscopy im willing to have any test to find out what is causing this agonising pain. the pain is taking over my life and my gp has practically given up on me as all previous tests are negative.

Its funny (not really), I've been trying to figure this out since i was 23 (now 28). I have my bad days and my good days. I've spent a ton of money even with insurance and am back to square one... Here's what I can share. I'm 6'1 195 lbs. I stay in decent shape. I work out at least 3 times a week. My diet is up and down. I had lipo suction recently to get ride of gyno and he cut me a deal to do my gut as well. I always had a gut and man boobs no matter how lean I was. I've thought that maybe the pain was from my gut but guess I was wrong. This is very frustrating but I deal with it. I'm constantly adjusting my belt and get the most comfortable dress pants for work that I can find and boxers and jeans have to fit baggy. Gym cloths seem to be the best... I've had two colonoscopys, the barium ultrasound and NOTHING!
