Pain at stomach sides
I'm having little pain at sides of stomach since last 1 month. The pain is not sharp but it occurs sometimes and is like some pricking pain. Sometimes I feel the bowels not fully emptying and also sometimes it's difficult to pass out gas. There's no other symptom like fever, vomitting, etc. Initially I thought it would be kidney stones but after CT scan I don't think so. Also, my blood tests(CBC, CRP, ESR), KFT, LFT, urine culture reports are normal. I have attached some pictures but can't attach more than 2. I was eating junk food, non-veg, spicy food since sometime. I've now started drinking 3-4 litres of water daily alongwith less spicy, oily food. Taking curd or drinking buttermilk makes me feel some better. Can someone help me know if this pain be due to gas? Or it can be something else?

I’m sorry to hear about the discomfort you’re experiencing. Based on the symptoms you’ve described and the normal results from your tests, it’s possible that your pain could be related to gas or indigestion. Here are a few potential causes and considerations:
Gas and Bloating: Gas can cause pricking or sharp pain and may be associated with difficulty passing gas and a feeling of incomplete bowel movements1. Your recent dietary changes, including increased water intake and reduced spicy, oily foods, are good steps to manage this.
Irritable bowel syndrome
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): IBS can cause similar symptoms, including abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits2. It often improves with dietary adjustments and stress management.
Gastritis or Peptic Ulcers: These conditions can cause stomach pain, especially if you’ve been consuming a lot of spicy or junk food3. Buttermilk and curd can help soothe the stomach lining.
Muscle Strain: Sometimes, abdominal pain can be due to muscle strain, especially if it’s not constant and varies with movement1.
Since your symptoms have persisted for a month, it would be best to follow up with a gastroenterologist for a more detailed evaluation. They might suggest further tests or imaging to rule out other conditions.
In the meantime, continue with your current dietary adjustments and hydration. You might also find relief with over-the-counter antacids or gas relief medications, but it’s always best to consult with me before starting any new medication.
If you notice any new symptoms like severe pain, fever, or vomiting, seek medical attention promptly.
Is there anything else you’d like to discuss or any other symptoms you’re concerned about?
