What does this pain mean?

Left side of the abdomen(stomach ache), with headaches on one side of the head.
Could this be connected to stomach ulcers, if not what else are the possiblities?

Has anyone experienced this, what was the diagnoses?

The person who has this problem is getting medical help at this moment, but if you have information on it, I would really appreciate it, thanks all!

The symptoms are too vague to tell.

When does this happen? After certain foods, exercise, empty stomach.....

Been exposed to anything recently...

Past medical history is important also.

No fever
he was diagnosed many months ago to be having a stomach ulcer and was recommended a diet without oily, hot foods
Being exposed to anything (I dont think so)-as he wasnt ill at the time the stomach aching started.
And doctors have done a scan and things but they dont really see any problems as far as I know
Could kidney/bladder stones cause such pains?

Bladder would be down lower in the middle and kidney would be in the back.

You don't specify where on the left it is upper or lower quadrant.

lower

I would go to webmd.com and use the symptom checker there it may guide you to some possibilites.

Thanks for the link,
as doctors are checking up and leading to a diagnoses, I just wanted to confirm if my doubts could be cleared.

And with J9 here, I just needed to discuss to put my mind at ease that it wasnt anything as bad as it seems.

The webmd link is pretty good. I have had about a 35/65 success rate, so I don't take it all that seriously, but I sometimes do use it.

What is his age if you don't mind?

What have the doctors said so far? Anything else than you have already said here?
