Lower left abdominal pain

[LauraLoo27]

I am a 23 year old female and have been suffering with abdominal pain for over six months. The pain is in the lower abdomen and particularly on the left side. I also feel the pain on the left side of the pelvis (around the illiac crest area)and into the left groin. The pain in the abdomen is often worse after eating but not every time I eat. There is a localised small lump in the groin that is very sore to touch - im not sure if this is a lymph node? I have had blood tests and a stool sample but these were both clear. The urine test I had showed white blood cells and I am currently waiting results of a left hip x-ray. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I have to second the possibility of an ovary cyst, although common, it should be checked out.

What about diverticulitis?

Thanks Cheri70, i havent had an ultrasound but will definetly ask my Doctor about it.

What about an ultrasound of your ovaries?  Cysts are common and can be very painful.  I'd ask to have that looked at.  There isn't much on that side except intestines (and an ovary) so it could be many things.
